About this home
A hidden gem with urban oasis feel: this light filled 1 bedroom condo is nestled behind another house and protected from the street -- just three blocks from Porter Square T station and shops on Mass Ave, and close to Lesley and Harvard campuses. Great opportunity for the savvy investor or home buyer looking to enter the Somerville market. Thoughtfully renovated by a developer in 2005, this home’s well-laid out floor plan maximizes every square inch of space, making it feel much larger that its 356 square feet would suggest. The kitchen, open to the living and dining area features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and plenty of cabinet space. The in-unit laundry is located in the bathroom off the cozy bedroom. Additional dedicated basement storage, central air and parking. All this in a shared courtyard with plenty of space to relax and entertain.
