Welcome to this meticulously maintained, sun-drenched townhouse that delivers the independent privacy of single-family living right at the crossroads of Somerville and Cambridge. Originally reconfigured and modernized in 2006, this expansive home pairs timeless architectural flow with effortless modern convenience. The bright open-concept main level features high ceilings and a southern exposure that floods the living and dining spaces with natural light, accentuated by abundant oversized windows. Located on the second floor alongside a flexible bedroom or home office, the generous primary suite features a large walk-in closet and a private en-suite bath. The third bedroom occupies the entire top level, complete with its own en-suite bath—ideal for guests, a secondary primary suite, or a private media retreat. The practical lower level offers a full dedicated laundry room and exceptionally clean, expansive basement storage. Enjoy an unbeatable commuter and lifestyle access just 0.4 miles to the Porter Square T Station (Red Line and Commuter Rail) and steps from the updated Beacon Street cycle-track network. Harvard, Davis, Union, Inman, and Porter Squares are all within a mile of your front door, providing endless dining, shopping, and cultural options.

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.
