About This Home
As of November 2021Perched high atop coveted Davis Square Lofts, this oh-so-special penthouse is a serene oasis in the middle of bustling Davis Square. Urban loft-construction offers soaring, open ceilings, windows everywhere, and polished cement floors with radiant floor heat. Surrounded by 500 sq ft of outdoor, exclusive use space, this unit boasts two huge decks (one off the living room and one off the bedroom). One full wall in the living room & one full wall in the bedroom roll up (yes, they are converted garage doors!) to extend the living space of this home onto the decks. Open the doors in the summer to grill in your cabana-like roof-top garden. Open the doors in the winter, and the radiant floor heat allows you to enjoy a cocktail party in the snow. It is a loft, so every wall is moveable. Expand the kitchen or the living room. Build in another bath or bedroom. Throw a Jacuzzi or a shower on the deck. This condo knows no limits! 2 blocks from Davis Sq and adjacent to the Somerville Bike Path.
