A rare East Cambridge offering with the space, flexibility, and parking that are nearly impossible to find in this neighborhood. This classic 19th-century brick townhouse spans four levels with five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, two kitchens, outdoor space, and an extraordinary four deeded, non-tandem parking spaces.Unit 1 features high ceilings, hardwood floors, a modern kitchen and baths, including one with a Jacuzzi tub and separate seated shower. A third-floor primary suite with exposed brick adds character and privacy, while a private deck provides welcome outdoor space. Unit 2 is comfortable, eclectic, and very Cambridge, with two bedrooms, a modern kitchen, two updated baths, and a private patio. The property offers tremendous versatility: maintain the current two-unit configuration, create a multigenerational home, or explore combining the spaces into an impressive single-family residence.
