When asked which they will miss more, the house or the garage, it was a draw. With its high ceilings, beautiful light, and large kitchen/family rm, the house has been a source of joy for 30 years. But, having a garage in which to tinker and park their cars has also been a gift. Nestled on a one way street near Porter Sq., Davis Sq, & Bergin Park, 29 Fairfield St. is a fabulous location. A quintessential Cambridge Victorian with 2,510 sq. ft., the house has 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms & a cool addition off the back that frames the yard. The unfinished basement houses the heating and central a/c system, laundry & lots of storage. And, because the house is sited to one side of its large lot, there is a wonderful yard with a patio and room to play and/or garden. While it is time for them to move, they will miss this lovely house, the garage, and their neighborly street. Might this be the place for you to spend the next 30 years? Seller welcomes offers with requests for buyer concessions.
