About This Home
As of April 2023This bright, large, well-laid out, five-room, two-bedroom Somerville condo with large windows, high ceilings, and wood flooring sits on the Cambridge line and is dubbed both a walker and biker "paradise" yet comes with its own off-street parking for good measure. Conveniently located steps to Porter Square and a short distance to Union and Harvard Square, your options for transit, shopping, errands, entertainment, and dining are exceptional. Other highlights include a large, open living/dining room with pocket doors, a large kitchen with an island and granite countertops, central air conditioning, in-unit laundry, private storage, guest parking, and direct access to an exclusive-use deck. All this and a location that easily lets you take advantage of everything Cambridge and Somerville offer.
