About this home

10 Howland Street is a charming slice of old-school Cambridge, with great potential as a single, or an owner/rental property. On a picturesque block with a delightful mix of structures, it sits on a 4,900 square-foot lot with mature plantings, raised beds, and a patio. A separate rear entrance leads to the first-floor studio unit, rented out for as much as $3,000 a month on Airbnb, with a kitchen, bathroom with walk-in shower, and bedroom. Out front, the classic covered porch opens to an entry hall and first-floor study, which go with the upstairs residence–an open-plan kitchen/dining room, living room, study, and full bath, and two bedrooms on the top floor. A private deck sits just off the dining room, perfect for al fresco meals or morning coffee. The property has been well-maintained, with recent roof replacement (2023) and new boiler (2021) and hot water heater (2020). 10 Howland Street is a fabulous property awaiting its next steward! Offers due 1PM Tuesday, April 30
