About this home
Moments from vibrant Davis Square, this exceptional 3BR/3.5BA penthouse spans two full floors and offers a rare combination of luxury, space, and location. Three outdoor living spaces, including an entertaining area off the living room, a private deck off the primary suite, and a spectacular roof deck with sweeping 360-degree views, create exceptional opportunities for relaxing and entertaining. The sun-filled living room features a soapstone fireplace and built-in surround sound, while the chef's kitchen showcases an oversized marble island, farmhouse sink, marble backsplash, Thermador appliances, and abundant workspace. Oversized windows and sliding glass doors fill both levels with natural light. The primary suite offers custom California Closets and a spa-like bath. Parking includes three off-street spaces, one with an EV charging station. Ideally situated near the Red Line, Tufts University, the Somerville Community Path, and Davis Square's restaurants, cafés, and shops.
