Casting its shadow on the Somerville community path, this 7 room, 4 br, 2 ba Victorian cottage c.1890 is exactly where you’d like to live! Steps to Mass Ave., even fewer steps to Davis Square, and on a pedestrian-friendly corner that feels like an urban cul-de-sac. With the walkers, joggers, and bicyclists outnumbering cars at least 30-1, the cozy yard and private deck are great places for summer meals, gardening, and people watching. Your finishing touches will be rewarded with instant equity given the generous room sizes, high ceilings, curb appeal, and convenient layout. The unfinished basement and walk-up attic offer potential expansion opportunities. Near-perfect WalkScore of 98 and BikeScore of 97 mean you’ll have plenty of opportunity to burn off your meals at nearby hotspots like the Burren, Life Alive Cafe, and Frank's Steakhouse.
