About this home

Having a 90 WalkScore (a walker’s paradise!), being 2 houses from Highland Ave, and just 1/4 mile to the Magoun Sq T stop and Somerville Community Path, this home is perfectly situated to ditch the car and take advantage of the city’s offerings. Located in the heart of Spring Hill, 161 Lowell St is an easy distance to Davis, Porter, and Union Squares. Beautifully designed, this 2,200+ sq ft, 3 bed 2.5 bath condo was gut renovated in 2021 and thoughtfully and meticulously maintained. The main level has 9’ ceilings and loads of natural light, spacious kitchen with breakfast bar and Thermador appliances, and living and dining areas with bow windows and gas fireplace. There’s also a primary suite with walk-in closet and spa-like bath, additional half bath, and coat closet. Downstairs has many possible uses: family room, office, exercise space, and more. There are 2 more bedrooms, full bath, and laundry room. Pet friendly, 1-car tandem driveway spot, and resident permit street parking.
