This beautiful home is near and dear to my heart, as once-upon-a-time, I rented the top floor unit, and so this was my home too. I can't say enough great things about the neighborhood -- so convenient, a great place for dog walks, and with friendly neighbors who even host annual block parties. I'll be just a tiny bit jealous of whoever buys it :) View photo gallery, floor plan and 3D tour here. With 1,100 SF of living area and a great finished lower level perfect for a guest

This is an interesting condo with a TON of potential for someone looking for a great value and willing to do a little work… I mean, how often do you see 1800 SF of space in Cambridge for $675,000? View photo gallery and floor plan here. This Cambridgeport condo is a great value with many opportunities! Option 1: buy and keep as is — a great 3-bedroom rental unit (current tenants pay $3,000/month), or make some cosmetic updates for higher rent potential. Option 2: stick with t

Check out last week’s post for more pictures of this great unit. We have also firmed up the list price at $539,000 and will be live on MLS tomorrow! Dining room bef

Yes, Cambridge has a "Beach" — PSA for Magazine Beach

If you live in Cambridgeport, you’re likely aware of the Cambridgeport Neighborhood Association’s partnership with the Mass Department of Conservation and Recreation to revitalize Magazine Beach, and specifically, to repair the old powder magazine structure, which is seriously deteriorating and in need of immediate attention. If you don’t live in Cambridgeport, you’re likely wondering what the heck Magazine Beach even is. Well, if you could call it a park, it would be the cit

Eastern Cambridge Real Estate Snapshot

As an Area Four resident and homeowner, I have a particular fondness for the neighborhoods of Eastern Cambridge, including East Cambridge, Kendall Square, Inman, Cambridgeport, Riverside, Central Square, Wellington-Harrington and my own Area Four. For a look back at what happened in real estate here last year, take a look at the 2011 Real Estate Market Snapshot I put together for the area (zip codes 02139, 02141, 02142).

Best Write Up of Cambridge in Years!

I’m not generally an Improper Bostonian reader, so am very happy my boyfriend brought to my attention the Feb 16, “Cambridge Issue.” I don’t know if the writers or editors live here, but if not, I’m doubly impressed by their knowledge of some of the off-the-beaten-path places around town. The article, “Hidden Cambridge” hits the nail on the head with some of the best local bars, cafes and shops outside of the main T-stop squares, including my friend Carl’s New Deal Fish Marke

Property of the Week: Under the Eaves in Cambridgeport

I think this condo is a steal… price just reduced to $289,000. It’s a top floor condo, under the eaves, but not in a way that feels cramped thanks to all the light and its open layout. It’s in a great Cambridgeport neighborhood right near the river and Trader Joe’s and Wholefoods — I used to across the street and absolutely loved the area. The neighbors are super friendly and throw an annual summer block party. In the winter, one person even opens up his home for a neighborho

Property of the Week: Cambridgeport Condo that Feels Like a House

This completely renovated condo could not be cuter, is in a fantastic Cambridgeport location, and comes with an off-street parking spot. Although it’s under 1000 SF, there is not one inch of wasted space — it’s the perfectly-sized home for someone who wants the feel of a single with the convenience (and price!) of a condo. Gorgeous finishes and modern conveniences like central air are icing on the cake. Call for a showing now, because it will be gone fast! 88 Pearl Street, Un

Eastern Cambridge Neighborhoods Report

As a Central Square/Area Four homeowner and resident, I have a particular fondness for the eastern side of the city. From Riverside to Inman, East Cambridge to Kendall Square, each neighborhood here has its own special charm, with unique histories, great local businesses, beautiful little parks and community gardens, and fantastic residents. So for all of you who live here now, or are thinking of buying a home in the area, here’s some information you might find useful… 2010 H

Properties of the Week: Three Cambridge Almost-Singles

It’s usually pretty simple to distinguish a condo from a single-family home. But not always. This week I saw three great homes that are technically condos, but not so different from single-families. Case in point #1: At the corner of Hamilton and Pearl, renowned local architect Mark Boyes-Watson gut-rehabbed an elegant 1873 Italianate-style home and built a new home next door as a charming complement. Both have gorgeous kitchens and baths and fantastic landscaping. Together t
