About this home
Turnkey Two-Family Steps from Union Square! Extensively updated in 2023, this bright up/down two-family offers flexible living and income potential just steps from Union Square, the Green Line and Lincoln Park. Unit 1 is a first-floor 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence. Unit 2 is a spacious 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath duplex on the second and third floors, with a bonus room ideal for a home office, study or guest space. Both units feature updated kitchens with new cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including dishwasher, microwave and disposal, updated bathrooms, hardwood floors, in-unit washer and dryer and a private composite deck. Additional updates include new windows (2023), two high-efficiency gas heating systems with 3 zones, a paver patio with evergreen landscaping and basement waterproofing. Outside, enjoy a large, fenced shared backyard, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Unit 2 is vacant and ready for an owner-occupant to move right in, while Unit 1 provides income with a lease in place through June 2027. Unbeatable location near Union Square's acclaimed restaurants, cafes and shops, Bow Market and the Union Square Green Line station, with easy access to Harvard, MIT, Tufts, Kendall Square, Assembly Row and downtown Boston. A rare opportunity to own a move-in ready two-family in one of Somerville's most vibrant neighborhoods.
Ward Two, located between Union Square and Porter Square, is a residential and commercial Somerville neighborhood with triple-decker streetscapes and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Union Square Plaza and Somerville Avenue corridor, where indie cafes, small galleries, and chef-driven counters cluster beside longtime storefronts. Bow Market acts as a compact hub for local makers and food stalls in a courtyard setting. The Somerville Theatre adds marquee-lit culture a short walk away, pairing repertory film with live shows. Side streets mix late-19th-century wood-frame homes with brick apartment blocks, while the Community Path threads a bike-and-walk spine through the area. Seasonal programming at Union Square’s public spaces keeps the calendar active without changing the lived-in feel.
