About this home
Cross Street offers something increasingly hard to find in Somerville: a single-family home with space, character, flexibility, and so much opportunity to make it your own. The first floor features a designer kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a center island, and a comfortable dining nook. A dedicated dining room flows into the living room with an accent wall, while a convenient half bath rounds out the main level. Out back, a rear deck overlooks a small city backyard—just enough outdoor space without giving up your entire weekend to yard work. Upstairs, you'll find a versatile family room or home office, three bedrooms, and an updated full bath. A walk-up attic provides additional possibilities for storage or future use. In addition to the many cosmetic updates throughout the home, the property also features updated plumbing and electrical, forced hot air heating, and all renovation permits have been closed.. For a buyer looking to build equity over time, there is plenty of opportunity here to add value. The location puts you close to Boston, Sullivan Square, Assembly Row, Lower Broadway restaurants, Encore, transit, parks, shopping, major routes, and the proposed soccer stadium. Somebody is going to see the opportunity at 9 Cross Street, make the move, and be very glad they did.

East Somerville, located between McGrath Highway and the Mystic River, is a compact and industrial-edged Somerville neighborhood with triple-decker streetscapes and rail-side grit. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Broadway near Cross Street, where bakeries, taquerias, corner markets, and no-frills cafés keep the sidewalks in motion. Community touchstones include Sarma, La Brasa, and the East Somerville Community School grounds as a daily gathering point. Housing mixes classic wood-frame multifamilies with newer mid-rises near Inner Belt and Assembly-adjacent blocks. Pocket parks and the Mystic River paths add open sky to a tight street grid. Orange Line stations at Sullivan Square and Assembly frame commutes and late-night bites.
