Rarely available: a spacious 3-family with over 3,900 sq ft of living space in a prime Cambridge location. Set on a quiet, one-way, tree-lined street just steps from Central Square and a mile to both Kendall and Harvard Squares. Each of the three 3-bed/1-bath units offers over 1,300 sq ft and a private porch, with a bonus office in the 2nd and 3rd-floor units. Big-ticket recent updates include a new flat roof (2025), boiler (2024), and hot water heater (2023), all still under warranty. The top-floor owner's unit features central AC, a renovated kitchen, and owned solar panels. A detached garage with electricity and EV charging sits directly behind the house and the generously sized basement offers ample storage plus laundry. Close to HMart, Whole Foods, Target, many restaurants, MIT, Harvard University, the Red Line, and all that Cambridge has to offer. Delivered fully vacant, an excellent opportunity for buy-and-hold investors, owner-occupants, or developers!
