THREE distinct elements make 254 Garden a unicorn: A leafy and expansive backyard; three car side by side parking; and single family ownership! Turn-key single-family home across from Danehy Park and the award-winning Cambridge Universal Design Playground, in Cambridge's desirable Neighborhood 9 — with 60 acres of trails, open fields, and green space right at your doorstep.This extensively updated home features exposed beam detail and an open-concept main level ideal for eating, dining, and living, plus a convenient half bath. The living area is seamlessly connected to the unusually large fenced backyard and patio oasis, complete with a storage shed for the gardener who is ready to dig in. Upstairs, an open architectural staircase with a skylight leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms with excellent light and generous closet storage, along with a full bath and laundry. Outside, enjoy three-car off-street parking — a true luxury in Cambridge — plus unbeatable access to the outdoors: Danehy Park across the street and Fresh Pond's miles of trails are just blocks away. Garden Street leads straight into Harvard Square, and Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are close by.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
