Property Description
Opportunity awaits at 166 Charles St in Cambridge, just 2 blocks to Life-Sciences Hub, Kendall Sq. Providing quick and easy access to MIT, Harvard, and downtown Boston, as well as two T-Stops, you can't ask for a more ideally situated address. Here's a well cared for two-family home set off the street with tons of privacy. With two bedrooms on the first floor and four in the second floor unit, this house is perfect for multi-generational living, an income property, or possible condo conversion. The focal point of the 1st floor is a lovely, renovated kitchen with an island and a dining area, and sliding doors that lead directly to an amazing, over-sized deck, perfect for entertaining large groups. The spacious upstairs unit has 4 bedrooms, skylights, and large eat-in kitchen with a dining/sun room area. Additionally, there is potential to expand into the basement. Finally, get away from it all in the serene and secluded back yard, framed by a wall of ivy.
