Versatile two-family on a 6,000 sf lot in North Cambridge, well suited for an owner-occupant, an income investor, or a longer-term project. Both units are currently tenanted, providing income from day one, and a detached two-car garage adds off-street parking that's rare for this part of the city. Walkable to Porter and Davis Square Red Line stations, Mass Ave restaurants and shops, and everyday grocery and errand stops. C-1 zoning, combined with Cambridge's 2025 multifamily zoning reform, expands what's possible here for a buyer with development plans.SUNDAY OPEN HOUSE CANCELLLED.
