About this home
Contractor special! Tucked away from the street on a block of colorful Victorians, this workers' cottage is ready for a new chapter. In need of major renovation, the house is a blank canvas. Some vintage details remain - moldings, maple and pine floors, high ceilings, and a handsome main staircase. Living room, eat-in kitchen and full bath down, three bedrooms plus an office upstairs. Put your own stamp on it and create an urban oasis. Vibrant city location amidst parks and playgrounds with Kendall Square, Central Square and MIT just blocks away. Group showings Thursday, 12-1:30; Friday 4-5:30; and Saturday, 12-1:30.
