About This Home
As of July 2014Prospect Hill will ultimately be the most aristocratic and fashionable place in the suburbs of Boston….SOMERVILLE JOURNAL, 1870. Just above Union Square, the S.E. Brackett House is set on a leafy, shaded side street in the famed Prospect Hill neighborhood, a wonderful turn-of-the-century house in the heart of modern Somerville. It is a classic Second-Empire-Mansard Victorian that is listed on the National, Massachusetts, and the Somerville Historic District Registries. It also has the distinction of having received the 2002 Somerville Historic Preservation Award. Constructed in 1880 as a grand single family and easily returned to that use, the house has been transformed to accommodate three residences, each with well-proportioned and light filled rooms. Extensively renovated in 2001 it retains virtually all of its original personality, both in its overall character and in its abundance of exquisite exterior architectural detail.
