Update: 88 Pearl Street sold for $525,000 after receiving 10 offers. I look forward to the transformation!
Calling all contractors and old house enthusiasts! This 1820s house at 88 Pearl Street in Cambridge Massachusetts is on the market for the first time in over sixty years.
If "old and untouched" is what you look for - you'll want to check out 88 Pearl Street. There's still some nice vintage detail here - paneled doors, built-ins, some wide board floors, front and back staircases, and ladder like stairs to an attic.
Developers and contractors will find a lot to like here. This is the perfect project for the spring market! The house is configured as a two-family and lends itself to condos. Alternatively it could be converted to a single family home. The rooms are large and very sunny. The City of Cambridge gives the approximate living area as 2380 sq. ft.
No mistake about it - the house needs a lot of work. Some things have been taken care of though - the furnace was new in 2002, the leaking roof was replaced in 2008, and the windows have been replaced.
The current room layout has four large rooms and two baths on the first floor and five rooms with one bathroom on the second floor. There is off-street parking for 2 - 3 cars.
This is a super location - just blocks from the heart of popular Central Square, MIT is just down the street, Harvard is one subway stop away on the Red Line, and the Charles River and Boston are nearby.
88 Pearl Street is new to the market and priced at $475,000.
Please call Elizabeth Bolton of Coldwell Banker on Huron Avenue in Cambridge if you would like more information or would like to schedule a showing. Liz can be reached at 617-504-1737.
There will be an open house on Sunday, August 23, 2009 from 1 to 2:30pm at 88 Pearl Street, Cambridge MA 02139.
