After a long day, come home to your splendid treetop haven in Davis Square. Sit outside on your private deck and catch your breath, or turn right around and go out on the town; from this location, Somerville, Cambridge, Boston – you name it – they are at your disposal. Within the mansard of an old Somerville house, 23 Appleton Street #3 has everything you need: a big private bedroom, a swing space for your office or yoga practice, an open plan living room and kitchen for entertaining, a full bathroom, and a space to park your car. The current owners can’t decide whether it is the deck, the parking or the location that they will miss the most. What they can tell you is that they have loved living here and hope you will as well.
