About this home
Spacious, flexible, and generously proportioned, this light-filled residence offers a versatile 1-bedroom + office layout in an exceptionally convenient Somerville location. Directly across from the Somerville Public Library and steps to the T and bus, it is moments from Union Square, Assembly Row, and Davis Square—yet peacefully set back from the street on the serene, airy courtyard side of the building. Nearly 1,000 square feet of living space provides plenty of room to live, work, host, and entertain. The thoughtfully designed interior features beautiful hardwood floors and abundant natural light, with three exposures in the living area. The dedicated office is exceptionally versatile and can easily function as a work-from-home space, guest bedroom, or additional living area. The inviting kitchen features stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and a distinctive herringbone butcher-block countertop that adds warmth and character. It opens naturally to the dining area and connects to a charming balcony overlooking the shared courtyard. The spacious bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and is complemented by a full bath with in-unit laundry. Additional highlights include new HVAC with central air conditioning, generous private basement storage, and access to a shared yard with grill. Ideally situated along Highland Avenue, the home places all of Somerville's restaurants, shops, cafés, parks, and public transportation all within easy reach. 5.125% ARM rate available to qualified buyers! With its generous proportions, flexible floor plan, abundant natural light, and unbeatable location, this is a home that offers exceptional versatility for urban living.
