About this home

Like a page out of Architectural Digest, prepare to fall in love with the vibe, versatile layout & unexpected little surprises of this Davis Square stunner! Just one block from the energy of the Square, you’ll have all the vibrancy of Davis right outside your door, with eclectic shops, restaurants, Dave's Fresh Pasta, theaters & music venues just a two minute stroll away. And yet, once you’re home, it feels like you’ve escaped to somewhere entirely different. Renovated top to bottom in 2014 & in beautiful condition, this sunny home offers high ceilings, a beautiful staircase & a floor plan that lets you decide how you want to live. At the center is a nicely designed kitchen blending retro style with modern conveniences, fantastic storage, granite countertops & a floating island perfect for extra prep space or a casual cup of coffee. The coziest dining room of all time sits off to one side, while tucked around the corner is a living room plus a bonus space that could be an office, occasional guest room, music room, reading room or …okay, you get the picture. A beautifully tiled full bath & spacious bedroom with a customized double closet round out the main level.Upstairs, the private primary suite feels like a world of its own, complete with loads of closet space, an en suite bath & glass door opening to your very own deck with the feel of a treescape retreat. You’ll also appreciate all of the hard to find extras, including a dedicated mud area in the rear hall & finished lower-level room that doubles as a laundry room, storage, gym or whatever you need it to be.And then there’s the courtyard. Tucked between the front & rear houses, this might just be one of the prettiest little green spaces in Davis Square, with mature trees, a shared patio & the unmistakable feel of a European courtyard. All this + 2 CAR PARKING, a serious Somerville luxury, just minutes from Tufts, the bike path & the Red Line T, with easy access to Cambridge and Boston. Urban energy out front, peaceful retreat out back. Hit the easy button and still have it all, including the residential tax exemption, which puts you less than 5 miles from the city at less than $5,000 in taxes per year!
