23 Day St, Somerville, MA 02144

4 Minute Walk to Davis Square Red Line. Side by Side Townhouse. Bright 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath unit in a classic circa-1900 Victorian two-family, tucked on a quiet residential street one block off Davis Square. True side by side layout so no one is living above or below you. The unit has been extensively updated while keeping the character of the original house: roughly 9.5 foot ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, generous windows, and a updated kitchen with butcher block counters. In-unit laundry. A full bath plus a separate half bath means no morning traffic jams. A private rear porch and a dedicated portion of the yard come with the unit, so you get real outdoor space that's rare this close to the square. Location is the headline here. You're a 1 to 2 minute walk to the restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and shopping in Davis Square, and about 4 minutes to the Davis Red Line station, putting Harvard, Kendall, and downtown Boston within a short ride. Tufts and the Somerville Community Path are both a few minutes on foot. Street parking by permit. Spaces are generally available on the block, and there's a public metered lot a minute away for guests. Photos of the kitchen and half bath will be added shortly and are available on request in the meantime. Available 10/01/2026. Minimum 11 month lease, longer negotiable.
