46 Inman is a new construction building (2006) containing two town homes.

46-2 Inman is a new construction (2006) townhome in Mid Cambridge between Harvard and MIT. 46-2 Inman scores an 89 on Walk Score - a very convenient  and walkable location. The Red Line with subway service to Boston is found at one end of the street in Central Square. At the other end of the street is Inman Square with its many shops and restaurants. Visit 46-2 Inman right now on the Cambridge For Sale channel on YouTube.

Private deck and garden at 46-2 Inman - an urban retreat.

46-2 Inman is part of Inman Court, a four-unit association in two buildings. An appealing aspect of 46-2 Inman is that the residence is set back from the street. A spacious deck off the living room steps down into a private garden, allowing 46-2 Inman to take full advantage of its nestled placement in the corner of the lot. This also affords 46-2 Inman a second off-street parking space – the only residence at Inman Court to enjoy a second spot.

Open and light-filled living room with gas fireplace.

The main living level at 46-2 Inman takes your breath away – an open plan with soaring 9’8 ceiling height and oversized windows allowing for ample natural light. Anchoring the living room is a gas fireplace. Direct access to the deck and private garden make for a true indoor-outdoor feeling for this urban retreat. The kitchen features a peninsula counter, stainless steel appliances and maple cabinets. A front hall with coat closet and access to half bath complete this level. The rarity of the amount of light and volume found here cannot be overemphasized.

Kitchen with peninsula counter opening onto main living area.

Upstairs on the bedroom level at 46-2 Inman is a good sized master bedroom with master bath en suite. Also found on this level is a second bedroom and second full bath, as well as a study and laundry closet. Overall, the top floor is very functional and well laid out.

Inside the master bedroom.

On the lower level at 46-2 Inman are an additional 565 square feet of finished space, including an area set up as a home office and ample storage. One could easily add a bath here – the plumbing is already in place. There is also direct access to both the garage parking space and second outdoor parking space. It is rare in Cambridge to have direct access to parking from within the home – no complaints on New England winter days!

Inman Square is among the most vibrant neighborhoods in Cambridge.

The heart of Inman Square is the intersection of Hampshire and Beacon and Cambridge Streets. As with other so-called squares in Cambridge, Inman Square is not a square but rather the name given to a neighborhood surrounding the center point. There are not really any clearly defined Inman Square boundary lines. That being said, Cambridge Street is certainly the main street of the neighborhood, especially between Hampshire and Columbia Streets.

As for real estate, all residential property types – condominiums, single families, and multifamilies – are found in Inman Square.

Dodge Street is a small side street off of Western Avenue near the Charles River. This two-family conversion is notable for its 9′ ceilings, Brazilian cherry floors and interior trim work. The developer gave each unit owner its own exclusive use yard space. The two-car tandem parking was given to the larger and more expensive on the second and third floors.

=================================================

NUMBER NINE
70-72 Prince Street, Cambridgeport.
70 Prince SOLD for $475,000 on 6/12/09.
4 rooms. 2 bedrooms. 2 bathrooms. First floor unit.
72 Prince SOLD for $640,000 on 6/12/09.
5 rooms. 3 bedrooms. 2.5 bathrooms. Second and third floor unit.

A quality renovation made up for the lack of parking at this address. The developer even went to the trouble to create a clean and attractive lower level with defined storage areas. Lots of custom woodwork and attention to detail.

=================================================

NUMBER EIGHT
45-47-49 Magazine Street, Cambridgeport.
45 Magazine SOLD for $612,500 on 9/12/09.
47 Magazine SOLD for $630,000 on 9/30/09.
Both 45 and 47 Magazine feature 5 rooms, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 1-car parking.
49 Magazine SOLD for $710,000 on 7/30/09. Larger unit in rear with 5 rooms, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1-car parking.

A restored 1838 Greek Revival. Three townhomes. Picture-perfect from sidewalk. An appealing aspect of this address is its slight elevation from Magazine Street, which is fortunate to have telophone lines buried underground rather than up on poles. It’s nice, too, that the developer landscaped the property so well. Bathroom finishes especially nice here. It’s too bad the second bedrooms could not be a wee bit bigger. Finished lower levels make up for this to some extent.

=================================================

NUMBER SEVEN
21-23 Wood Street, Porter Square near Raymond Park.
21-23 Wood Street Unit 1 SOLD for $423,500 on 6/1/09.
21-23 Wood Street Unit 2 SOLD for $418,000 on 4/13/09
21-23 Wood Street Unit 3 SOLD for $408,000 on 4/29/09.

All three units at this address featured 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths AND 1-car parking. Expansive shared yard. Unit 1 also enjoys an expansive private deck on side of the building with direct access to the unit. Super location close to Raymond Park outside of Porter Square. Appealing open floor plans anchored by gas fireplaces. Superb value.

=================================================

NUMBER SIX
378-380-382 NORFOLK STREET
378 Norfolk Street SOLD for $485,000 on 10/23/09.
380 Norfolk Street SOLD for $500,000 on 8/28/09.
382 Norfolk Street SOLD for $540,000 on 8/28/09.

To truly appreciate the renovation of these three townhomes one would need to see the BEFORE pictures of the property. A truly remarkable transformation. Especially appealing is the ceiling height throughout, as well as impressively landscaped rear garden, which includes exclusive-use zones. The developer is to be commended for his commitment to quality at this address, especially given that off-street parking is not included for the residences.

=================================================

NUMBER FIVE
378 Boadway, Mid-Cambridge.
Two Free-standing residences.
The front house (renovated Mansard Victorian) SOLD for $1,650,000 on 3/20/09.
What distinguishes this house is the grand ceiling height and substantial entry foyer and central stair. Limited functional outdoor space and only one-car parking.

The rear house (new construction) SOLD for $1,990,000 on 12/17/09.
A contemporary home of stone, steel and glass which you would expect to be featured in Dwell Magazine. Appealing open floor plan with cool, contemporary kitchen. Waterfall in back yard can be turned on with the flick of a switch from the living room.

=================================================

NUMBER FOUR
110-112 Amory Street. Inman Square.
Unit 1 SOLD for $459,000 on 10/15/09.
