Ideally located in the sought-after Ball Square neighborhood, this beautifully renovated first-floor unit offers 1,031 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. It boasts modern updates, deeded off-street tandem parking, and exceptional walkability and bike scores. Situated on one of Somerville's charming tree-lined streets, this home underwent a full renovation in 2025. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, solid wood soft-close cabinetry, marble flooring, and a subway tile backsplash. The updated bath includes a glass-enclosed tiled shower and marble floor, while hardwood floors extend throughout the living areas and bedrooms. Additional features include an in-unit washer/dryer, new Energy Star windows, ample closet and cabinet space, basement storage, and a shared backyard. Just a 2-minute walk to Ball Square, the MBTA Green Line station, local cafes, and shops, with easy access to the Bike Path and Davis Square.
Ball Square, located between Davis Square and Magoun Square, is a compact and walkable Somerville neighborhood with a classic main-street strip and a steady café-and-corner-store rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Broadway and Holland Street junction, where coffee counters, small restaurants, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks in motion. Sound Bites anchors the block with vinyl bins and in-store sets, while Ball Square Fine Wines and Semolina Kitchen & Bar act as familiar local fixtures. Side streets mix triple-deckers with tidy multifamily homes, and pocket parks break up the dense grid. The Green Line’s Ball Square station adds a transit pulse without changing the low-rise feel.
