About this home

Just three blocks to the heart of Davis Square and the Red Line T, 78 College Avenue unites residential calm with a dynamic urban lifestyle. Gut renovated in 2017, this light-filled, upper duplex has 3 beds plus an office, 3 baths, and a generous open floor plan with separate but fluent living, dining and kitchen spaces. Two of the bedrooms have ensuite baths, including the sprawling primary with a gas FP and exposed wood beams. Amenities include a private entry, in-unit laundry, huge private storage in the basement, and deeded parking. Enjoy the outdoors in the shared yard. A short walk to the Somerville Community Path and to Davis Square, where live music, candlepin bowling, an old-fashioned butcher, craft beer, specialty grocers and the city's best rib joint are just a few of the urban delights to be had. .5 miles to Ball Square/new Green Line T. Seller is open to offers with requests for buyer agent compensation.
