About this home

Introducing 17 Kensington Avenue in Somerville- your opportunity to raze an existing single story commercial building and construct a new 4 story, 19-unit building in its place. The new building can be built for sale or for rent and the project is designed with 4-5 units per floor and a gross building area of 25,293 sq/ft.
