This house offers leverage for the handy homeowner. With this lot size, there's plenty of room for an oversized garage or shop. The bigger ticket items in the house are already done. Roof including sheathing was done in 2025. Electrical and HVAC are updated. Steel siding and replacement windows. That leaves cosmetic projects like flooring because there are hardwoods under the carpet, paint, fixtures, or additional bathroom options, etc. Have you wanted to live in a place where kids can ride bikes with almost no traffic? Where you can have a big garden on your own property? The options for a buyer willing to work hard/leverage their skills to transform a property into what they want are right here in Cambridge. All information is from seller and public records.
