Spacious 3BR/1BA Duplex in the Heart of Davis Square Steps from the Red Line Welcome to 27 Paulina Street #1, one of Somerville's most sought-after streets and one of the best locations in the entire city. This stunning, sun-filled apartment spans the first and part of the second floors of a well-maintained two-family home and offers the space, character, and convenience that renters rarely find all in one place. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors run throughout every room, lending warmth and elegance to the entire unit. The open-concept living and dining area is expansive and bright perfect for entertaining or simply spreading out after a long day. The eat-in kitchen provides ample room for casual meals, while an entry foyer provides ample space for coats and shoes separate from the living space. One bedroom on the first floor and 2 more upstairs offers real comfort and flexibility. A private back porch provides your own outdoor retreat, ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings. One dedicated off-street parking spot is included (the spot closest to the house where the green Subaru Forester is parked in the photos), an exceptional and valuable perk in Somerville. Additional on-street resident permit parking also available. Laundry is a breeze with a dedicated, free washer and dryer in the basement exclusively for your use.
