About this home
Talk about an ideal location! Directly across the street from the International School of Boston, 64-66 Matignon Road is perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the North Cambridge urban lifestyle. Fresh Pond Parkway, Alewife Station, the Greenway, Davis Square, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, bike paths, top educational institutions and so much more are all within easy reach. Originally built in 1928, this charming two-family home is rich with character and beautiful architectural details, including hardwood floors, French doors, original built-ins, woodwork and wainscoting. Both apartments offer inviting back porches, while the lovely backyard and detached 2-car garage provide wonderful outdoor space and convenience. Permit and visitor parking are also available on the street. The first-floor apartment offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and an office with French doors. The unit has been thoughtfully updated with a newer kitchen featuring a gas stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal and butler’s pantry, along with an updated bath and a new composite deck overlooking the backyard. A dedicated basement area provides washer/dryer with gas hookups, a water heater, electrical panel and a newer boiler that is approximately 5 years old. The second-floor apartment, where the owner has lived, offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bath and an office with French doors. While it would benefit from some TLC, it retains the same wonderful architectural character found throughout the first-floor unit. A walk-up attic provides additional unfinished space with electricity, windows and a second means of egress, an exciting opportunity to expand the living area and create even more value. The second-floor unit also features a newer gas boiler and water heater, electrical panel and gas washer/dryer hookups. With its exceptional location, period charm, two separate living spaces, two car detached garage, outdoor space and exciting potential for expansion, 64-66 Matignon Road presents a terrific opportunity for an owner-occupant, investor or buyer looking to create something truly special in North Cambridge.
