An opportunity exists at 61 Garfield St. U-3. This is a 1st Floor, 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath Unit in a Classic Brick Building (circa 1910) of 16 units in the prime Baldwin/Agassiz neighborhood on beautiful tree-lined Garfield St. Less than one block to Mass Ave with so much to offer- proximity to Porter and Harvard Squares, Harvard Law and Harvard University. This property has been unoccupied for 20 years. All existing utilities have been disconnected and there is older damage due to water leaks from above. It will need a complete overhaul and new infrastructure. Re-configuring of the existing layout will make sense. The location and the potential end product will make this effort well worth it- large windows, high ceilings, living room with fireplace and maple hardwood flooring get you started. Basement storage, low condo fees and very low property taxes. If you are ready to put your stamp on something classic in the heart of Cambridge, you may have found it.
