TRULY a diamond in the rough! Phenomenal opportunity in beautiful West Cambridge. This single-family home has been completely gutted and could either be demolished or incorporated into a larger project, making good use of the current home’s generous proportions and placement within the lot. The current plan is for two structures: One front detached building with 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and ~4,300 SF of living space (3,529 SF above ground) on 4 levels, with 1 cantilevered parking space, a front yard (15' x 33') and a roof deck on the third floor (OR two top and bottom duplex units), and two attached townhouses in the back with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and ~3,441 SF of living space (2,733 SF above ground) on 4 levels, with 1 cantilevered parking space, a private back yard (15' x 24') and a roof deck on the third floor each. The projected sellout for this project is $3.4M ($790/SF) for the detached building, and $2.8M ($814/SF) for each of the attached townhouses.
