About This Home
Set in Somerville’s desirable Prospect Hill, 30 Walnut Street offers impressive scale, period craftsmanship, and an exceptional location just minutes from Union Square, Assembly Row, and downtown Boston. Built circa 1900, this grand Victorian retains its architectural charm with curved wainscoting, oval windows, crown moldings, and original hardwood parquet floors. The home requires significant updating throughout, presenting a rewarding opportunity for renovation, restoration, or redevelopment. Generously proportioned rooms and high ceilings create a strong foundation for reimagining the interior layout. Seven full-size bedrooms and two full baths span the upper levels, while the unfinished walk-out basement provides expansion potential or flexible workspace. Outside, enjoy a wraparound covered porch, private garden area, and off-street parking for three vehicles. A rare chance to revive a substantial historic home in a vibrant, transit-connected Somerville neighborhood. Sold “As is.”
