About this home

Well-maintained 3600 square foot 3-family on one of Spring Hill's nicest streets features lots of original detail, including high beamed ceilings, stained glass windows, woodwork, built-ins, hardwood floors. Lots of parking, including two spaces in the barn and at least two additional spots in the driveway. The barn has a second story for an office or studio. Nice good-sized garden area. Easy access to some of Somerville's best restaurants including Highland Kitchen, Three Little Figs, and the innovative Cuisine en Locale as well as the Center for the Arts. Less than half a mile to the community path and the projected Lowell Street green line station and just one block to the bus to Davis Square and Lechmere Station. This is a terrific opportunity for a developer or an end user, who can have a spacious three-bedroom unit with a garden and excellent rental income from two additional units.
