About this home

Fully gut-renovated two-family just ~0.3 mi to Gilman Square, offering a rare blend of design, flexibility, and location in one of Somerville’s most exciting neighborhoods. Thoughtfully curated with a well-balanced unit mix, Unit 1 features 2 beds/2 baths with private outdoor space and an effortless single-level layout. Unit 2 spans the upper levels with 3 beds/3 baths, offering a more expansive footprint and its own private outdoor space. Both residences showcase clean, modern finishes, intuitive layouts, and a sense of separation that lives like two distinct homes. Moments to the Green Line, neighborhood dining, and local favorites. A standout opportunity for investors or owner-occupants seeking style, income potential, and long-term upside.
