About This Home

As of July 2021

Like a good wine, some properties definitely get better with time. When she bought it, it was a nice unit with a big yard, but the unit was hot in the summer & the yard was nothing more than dirt. Over the past 10 years, she has not only improved the unit (added central a/c, a ½ bath, & in-unit laundry) she has cultivated & crafted her backyard into an exquisite garden & peaceful haven for her and her family. With 1,072 sq. ft, 72 Line St #1 has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a classically charming living room & dining room, and an eat-in kitchen that was updated in the early 2000s. Open the kitchen door and you find yourself on a Ipe wood wrap-around deck that leads to a beautiful private garden with two pretty stone patios (one for dining & one for sitting) filled with beautiful plantings. Imagine the “Secret Garden” in Somerville on the Cambridge line, sandwiched between Inman, Harvard, Central & Union Squares, and you will know why this property, Like a fine wine, should be savored.
