1920 Cambridge Two-Bedroom on 0.41 Acres with Big Attached Garage — $124,000

The garage is the first thing worth understanding about this place. Two cars, attached, oversized. On a 960-square-foot house built in 1920, that's a serious amount of covered storage and workspace relative to what you're paying for. If you need room for tools, vehicles, equipment, or just stuff, this property delivers that in a way a lot of small houses don't.

The house itself is 100 years old and it shows in the right ways. The bones reflect that era without being a restoration project. The layout is simple, two bedrooms, one bath, 960 square feet of main living. Main level laundry, which matters more than people think until they're hauling clothes up and down stairs. There's a walk-in closet off the primary bedroom, which is not something you expect in a house this age and size. The full walk-up attic adds storage that the square footage alone doesn't suggest.

Mechanically, the big items have been addressed. New furnace in 2025. Updated electrical in 2023. Those two together cover the things that can quietly cost you money in an older house, and having both done recently takes a lot of the near-term uncertainty off the table. Some windows have been replaced, there's a composite front deck, and the agent description says the house has been well maintained, which you'd want to verify yourself but the update timeline supports it.

The lot is 0.41 acres. For a town like Cambridge and a house at this price, that's a meaningful amount of outdoor space. You're on North Main Street, so it's in town, walkable to whatever the town center offers, but with a yard that gives you room.

At $124,000 for a maintained 1920 house with a big garage, a large lot, and the two most expensive mechanical systems freshly updated, this is a reasonable amount of house and property for the money. The size is small. If 960 square feet works for you, the rest of the package holds up.
