Property Description

Available for the first time in nearly 50 years, 42 Howard St presents a unique opportunity to create the perfect Cambridge home for the imaginative buyer. What is currently a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom multifamily could be transformed into a comfortable 4+ bedroom single family by removing the second-floor kitchen and renovating the rest to your liking. In its current form, this house features well-proportioned bedrooms, spacious kitchens with islands, high ceilings, laundry hookups on the first and second floor, and the cherry on top: parking AND a large backyard. Now it's just waiting for the right person to bring it back to life. Centrally located near Harvard University, Harvard Business School, MIT, and Boston University. Surrounded by top notch restaurants and a vibrant arts and culture scene, plus Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and other daily conveniences. Less than a 1/2 mile in either direction via Western Ave are the Central Square T station and Charles River green spaces and parks. Unbeatable location and value for the savvy homebuyer! Ask about possible 203k loan options to help you create your ideal space and build instant equity.
