About this home

One of Somerville's most sought-after and tree-lined streets is the backdrop for this gorgeous and massive Philadelphia-style 2 family steps to Davis Sq red line, Ball Sq green line, and Tufts University. With each unit spread over two floors and feeling more like two overlapping homes touching in the middle, the house has over 3800 sf of living area. Plus there's room to grow with a sprawling basement featuring 8’+ ceilings and a private back yard with mature plantings on a 4400+ sf lot.  Perfect for owner occupancy or investment, Both units are currently leased through 8/31/26.  Gorgeous hardwood floors, updated systems, and front and back porches.  Put your nose outside to smell local hotspots like Ball Sq Cafe, Kelly’s Diner, and jAvenue Kitchen + Bar. WalkScore of 93 makes this a perfect place to experience all that 02144 has to offer!
