Description
Two blocks from the Davis/Porter corridor's restaurants, groceries, and T access, this 874-square-foot home blends 1920s architectural character with thoughtful, modern updates, blending old and new beautifully at a competitive price point. A flexible one-level layout puts a spacious primary bedroom, a versatile second bedroom ideal as a home office or guest space, and a full bath alongside central air conditioning, exclusive use laundry, and basement storage. Architectural details are woven throughout, from picture rails and ceiling medallions to original bullnose corner window edging, built-ins, and a bay window that gives the front room added depth. The living room occupies the center of the home, anchored by a built-in hutch with bookshelves and storage. From here, the space flows directly into the kitchen, where granite countertops complement black cabinetry with generous storage, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized window bringing in ample natural light. The open floor area leaves room for an island with seating, adding both workspace and a natural place to gather.Just off the kitchen, the exclusive covered back porch is a natural spot for an outdoor escape, with room for a bistro table. The primary bedroom sits at the rear of the home and features a built-in bookcase and two closets, including a generous walk-in with built-in shelving. At the front of the home, the second bedroom is framed by a bay window and connects to the living room through double pocket doors, which are easily opened up as an extension of the main living space, or closed off for privacy as a home office or guest room. The full bathroom includes a window, marble flooring, and a tub/shower combination. With both Davis and Porter Squares close at hand, the location offers easy access to the best of Somerville and Cambridge. Davis Square brings a lively mix of dining, shopping, and neighborhood amenities, while Porter Square offers Red Line and Commuter Rail access along with the Porter Square Shopping Center, home to Star Market, CVS, Target, Michaels, Tags Hardware, and Healthworks.
