About this home
Set in the heart of Ball Square, this three-family sits in one of Somerville’s most connected locations, just 0.7 miles to Tufts, Davis Square, and Porter Square, less than a half mile to the Green Line, about a half mile to the Red Line, and 0.2 miles to the bike path. Owner occupied for years, the property is ready for its next chapter and offers a compelling opportunity for developers, contractors, or investors looking for upside in a high-demand market. Unit 1 has already been updated with a one-bedroom, one-bath open layout, giving the next owner a strong starting point while the remaining space invites renovation, repositioning, expansion or long-term hold potential. Whether you are utilizing the two-car garage for cars, bikes or storage, the full driveway adds valuable utility in a neighborhood where parking still matters. With transit, universities, restaurants, and neighborhood amenities all close by, this is a well-located asset with multiple paths forward.
