Cambridge and Somerville Houses on Tour
Tercentenary Sign Tells the Story of Gerry's Landing
On our tour of new Somerville and Cambridge real estate listings this week we saw a number of very nice townhouses new to the market with Coldwell Banker agents. We get our exercise on Wednesdays – sometimes every condo is on the top floor – this week it seemed we were up and down 3 or 4 floors at every stop.
Some of what we saw included:
- A Bell & Fandetti townhouse at 7 Dana Place listed for $849,000. This was the nicest Bell Fandetti townhouses I’ve seen – some smart modifications and the decor and colors played off the original features beautifully.
- A Mid-Cambridge townhouse at 324 Harvard Street had 1700 s.f. and garage parking and was priced at $820,000
- A 1980s two-bedroom townhouse with parking at 11 Bolton Street in Somerville near Inman Square was listed for $349,000.
- A townhouse at 33 Weston Ave in Teele Square, Somerville had gorgeous views across the school field behind the complex and was listed for $719,000.
The photo above is from last week’s tour. I always wanted to know the story behind Gerry’s Landing and here it is on one of Cambridge’s tercentenary signs. We passed the sign on our way to tour a very charming house at 8 Gerry’s Landing in Cambridge’s Coolidge Hill neighborhood that came on the market for $935,000.
