About this home

Private and Tucked away from the street in the Heart of Davis Square, this architecturally designed 2014 gut renovation of an 1880s Cottage is so special and rare as it showcases modern design features in the interior but keeps the charm of the Cottage on the exterior. Both of the units are in condo ready condition and have private exclusive outdoor patio space. The first floor unit is a 2 bedroom 1 bath with a large eat in kitchen, living room, and in unit laundry. The upstairs unit is a 2 level 3 bedroom 2 bath space with a private deck, an eat in kitchen, spacious living room, and in unit laundry. The basement offers possible expansion opportunities and is currently unfinished. The lot includes a detached 2 car garage along with 2 additional parking spaces (non tandem). This home features central air, gas cooking and gas heat.
