About This Home
Extremely well-located 2-family in prime Somerville location, just 0.5 miles to Porter Sq and 0.8 miles to Harvard Square red lines. The property is exceptionally accessible: across the street from Zoe’s Chinese, less than one block to Star Market, Pho N Rice and Pepsi Pies, and a few blocks to Whole Foods. The first floor unit contains a true eat-in kitchen, spacious living room with tall ceilings and two sizable bedrooms. The second floor unit is over two floors - you have a first floor bedroom plus the main 2nd level with two living areas, two bedrooms, a bathroom, eat-in kitchen and front porch - all with great ceiling height throughout. Brand new roof + 2nd floor porch done in June 2026. With additional updates, there is tons of potential to significantly increase rents across both units. The backyard is quiet and set back from the street, with room for future improvements. A superb value-add opportunity in a prime Somerville location right on the Cambridge line!
