Extremely well cared for 2-family in desirable West Somerville location. With numerous updates over the years combined with consistent regular maintenance and strong rental history, this property is ideal for both investors and owner occupants. Located less than a mile from Davis Square and Tufts University, and within a few blocks of multiple grocery stores, restaurants, parks, Alewife Greenway Bike Path, Dilboy Public Pool, and more. Both units have separate entrances and are well proportioned with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, beautiful hardwood floors and original millwork, and access to their own private laundry and storage space in the basement. The upper unit (#9) has private enclosed front and back porches, a bonus room, and a walkup attic with existing plumbing for a bathroom and heat -- offering an additional 1,145 square feet of valuable expansion potential. The lower unit (#7) has a Certificate of Deleading Compliance. Other notable features of this home include a landscaped backyard, a tidy basement with tall ceilings, bike storage, and a 2-car garage. The neighborhood is quiet yet easily accessible to both public transportation and major highways. Whether you're looking for a steady investment or a home with room to grow, this one is not to be missed.
West Somerville, located between Davis Square and Fresh Pond, is a residential and walkable Somerville neighborhood with triple-decker streetscapes and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Elm Street–Highland Avenue stretch near Davis Square, where indie cafés, record bins, and small theaters keep sidewalks busy. The Somerville Theatre, Diesel Cafe, and The Burren act as local pillars for film, coffee, and live music. Side streets mix Queen Anne details with tidy multifamily homes and small condo conversions. The Community Path and nearby linear greenways shape daily routes on foot and bike. A steady rhythm of corner markets and bakeries keeps errands grounded in the neighborhood fabric.
