About this home

Rare opportunity to own an exceptionally maintained 2-family in the heart of Cambridgeport that could be converted to a single! Owner-occupied for over 30 years, you will be captivated by the oak floors, high ceilings & whimsical charm. You will find stained glass, reading nooks, & custom touches throughout. The 'Owner's Unit' consists of a home office/studio, 3-4 bedrooms, including an oversized primary bedroom with cathedral ceilings and 3 closets, 3 full baths, & an open dining/living room with a fireplace. The 'Tenant Unit' is a 3-room apartment and could also be used as a separate home office, au-pair or 1st floor 'In-law'. The sweet backyard is nicely landscaped with trees, a wisteria-covered arbor, & a wonderful large deck. Additionally, there is full sun on the front 2nd floor south-facing deck. The location is perfect - just minutes to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Central Sq red line, the BU bridge & the green line, and the Charles River. Offers, if any, are due on Wed, 9/28@1pm
