42 Howard St
Cambridge, MA, 02139
Available for the first time in nearly 50 years, 42 Howard St is your opportunity to create a solid investment or your dream Cambridge home.

Either way, this home is just waiting for the right person to bring it back to life. Centrally located near Harvard University, Harvard Business School, MIT, and Boston University. Surrounded by top notch restaurants and a vibrant arts and culture scene, plus Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and other daily conveniences.
