About this home

Gorgeous top floor condo in a prime Somerville location close to the anticipated Ball Square Green Line Extension! Only .6 miles to Davis Square and it’s Red Line Stop, great eateries, bars and shopping. This is arguably the most desired location in Somerville and makes it a commuters dream! Updated plumbing and a new HVAC system are some of the wonderful upgrades here. The open floor plan is surrounded by windows allowing in tons of natural light. In-unit laundry and private storage are just one of this condo's many conveniences. The updated kitchen has ample cabinetry and offers a great space for the at home chef with a beautiful quartz counter space! Have your morning coffee on the private deck or enjoy sitting out on a summers day. Each of the two bedrooms has skylights and plenty of closet space. Perfect for a couple/small family or an investor with its close proximity to Tufts University. Don't miss this opportunity to get into this area before the green line extension!
