About This Home
As of September 2025This condo feels like home the moment you step inside, blending charming details from another era with beautiful updates. Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street near Davis & Porter, this two-level Somerville charmer is full of warmth and character. Freshly painted with stylish new lighting, it features wood floors, granite counters, stainless appliances, and French doors to a private balcony. Offering flexibility, there are options for both first and second floor primary bedrooms. The garage is a fairy tale dream, faced with stonework and ready for an EV charger, plus 2 more driveway spots. Finished with durable cement siding for lasting curb appeal and low maintenance, this home also offers newer heat/central air, plenty of basement storage, privacy, a shared patio and beautiful landscaping. At the end of the street, you’ll find a playground, bike path, and both the Red and Green Lines less than half a mile away along the path. Location is everything, and this one truly delivers!
