This quintessential Davis Square 2-family is anything but ordinary. Over the years, it has been transformed into a spacious getaway with all of its character intact. Wide, tree-lined street allows lots of natural light and makes this home feel very welcoming. Walking distance to everything, yet peaceful and secluded! City, convenience of favorite squares: Davis, Porter, Ball. 1st Floor Philly-style Unit: open living & dining room, 2 good size bedrooms, modern kitchen & easy access to basement/back porch. 2nd Floor: front & back porches are like an extension of your living space and will make you feel like you are far away (even on a zoom call!) It is so comfortable & easy to entertain here: fireplaced living is open to dining and kitchen. Tastefully gut-renovated 3 bed 3 bath w/radiant h floors. Central A/C & off-street parking complete the package. Too little space to mention all features and updates! The flow and light even on a cloudy day is amazing. Just turn the key and settle in!
