Cambridge cottage has temerity to ask only $530,000

The 1,136-square-foot, seven-room cottage at 119 Reed Street in North Cambridge is a superb example of that increasingly rare Cambridge species: the single-family that is not astronomically expensive.

In this case, 119 Reed wants a (relatively) mere $529,900. There is a catch: Per the Coldwell Banker listing, the 3-BR, 2-BA needs “some structural work” and is being sold as is.

So think of it as a fixer-upper—with enormous resale potential.
