Two Family in Porter Square

21-23 Regent Street in Porter Square

21-23 Regent Street in Porter Square

21-23 Regent Street is a handsome two-family house in Porter Square.  Regent Street is just a couple blocks from the Porter Square Red Line T (Baptiste Yoga’s on the corner) so it’s a walk-to-everything location.  The street is a mix of single family houses, multi-families, and condos in converted turn of the century houses or the modern lofts built at the end of the block.

The house will appeal to owner-occupants who’ll appreciate the single family feel of the larger unit.  It has its own entrance and offers four bedrooms on two levels.  Regent St is a super location for investors since apartments this close to the T and to local colleges can command premium rents.

This much loved two-family house was home to the sellers for decades.  New buyers will get a chance to make 21-23 Regent Street their own later this week when it comes on the market for $1,100,000.

21-23 Regent Street Cambridge MA 02140 is listed with Elizabeth Bolton of ReMax Destiny (that’s me!).  Email me at [email protected] or call Liz at 617-504-1737 for more information.

Porter Square Condos

Porter Square Cambridge - Bikes By The T

Porter Square Cambridge - Bikes By The T

If you’re a Cambridge real estate buyer you’ll find a good variety of Porter Square condos to choose from.  In fact, since Porter Square straddles the Cambridge – Somerville line, you’ll probably want to consider options on the Somerville side of the square as well.

Porter Square is a popular neighborhood in large part because of the Red Line T station here.  You’re just one stop from Harvard Square on the subway and it’s a quick ride into Boston.  The commuter rail that goes into North Station stops here and heads out to Belmont, Waltham, Concord and Acton in the other direction.

Davis Square is a ten minute walk and the fifteen minute walk to Harvard Square takes you down a stretch of Mass Ave that’s lined with fun shops, restaurants and pubs.

The Porter Square shopping center is a big draw. Here you’ll find a large Star Market (officially now called Shaw’s I guess but forever Star Market to me), an independent bookstore Porter Square Books, a package store, Tag’s hardware and housewares store, Cambridge Naturals, a toy store and more.

What sort of condos can you find in Porter Square?  Many Porter Square condos are in converted two and three family houses.  There are townhouses nearby on Russell Street, artists’s studios on Porter Road, high end loft style buldings close by, and a number of larger buildings built over the years on Mass Ave and on some of the side streets in the neighborhood.

Porter Square condos for sale in Cambridge will appear below.  Click on the small photo for additional info and more photographs.  Want some help finding a condo to buy in Cambridge or Somerville?  Give Liz Bolton a call at 617-504-1737 or send her an email.
