About this home
Available 9/15-10/1 Flexible start. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Somerville, 20 Newbury St is a stunning single-family home featuring three bedrooms and 1.5 baths, all meticulously updated during a full gut renovation in 2017. The interior boasts a seamless open layout that flows beautifully for both daily life and entertaining with central A/C and in-unit laundry, while the exterior offers the rare urban luxuries of a private backyard and a convenient two-car driveway. Just a short stroll from the electric energy of Davis Square, this home puts you minutes away from top-tier dining, the Red Line, and everything that makes this vibrant community one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the city.
