About this home

Located in a venerated 14-unit brick building in the heart of Union Square Somerville, this immaculate, updated, well appointed, sun filled + sophisticated one bed plus study has everything: including a great off-street parking spot. Extraordinary natural light pours in through the oversized windows, and 11-foot ceilings/gleaming hardwood floors enhance the lofty vibe of the open, expansive living/dining/kitchen layout.The bedroom is very private. Roomy bath w/spa tub. Ample storage includes 3 double-doored wardrobe closets, a mudroom w/in unit washer/dryer + a generous stowage space under the raised office and sleeping loft areas. Pet friendly, elevator building w/gracious foyers. Deeded parking space in the 1-way lot. There isn't a more desired location in our Universe-it's just steps to the hippest restaurants/bars/coffee shops/maker spaces/rock gyms/bike paths, lab/office spaces, 2 MBTA Green Line stops, MIT, Harvard, and everything else. Park your car at home and enjoy urban life!
