Classic 4Br/2.5Ba Townhouse with Private Back Garden - An Urban Oasis!

Description

Often described as a classic "Painted Lady" of Somerville, our colorful family townhouse blends traditional Victorian character with modern comfort. It’s an ideal home for individuals seeking an urban retreat surrounded by excellent restaurants, cafés, bars, breweries, and even a nearby comedy club in the vibrant Union and Inman Square areas of Somerville and Cambridge. It's also an excellent choice for families looking to keep children active with the area's many offerings, including Somerville's largest recreational park, a climbing gym, a skating rink, the Harvard Museum of Natural History, and the Museum of Science. The house spans three floors and offers four bedrooms—easily adaptable as home-office space if needed—and two and a half bathrooms. Because of the layout, guests should be comfortable with stairs. You’ll also enjoy private outdoor space, with mature shrubs and trees that provide welcome shade in summer and year-round enjoyment from the birds and squirrels that frequent the garden. The home is fully furnished, with a well-equipped kitchen featuring an induction cooktop. A washer and dryer are located in the basement. A crib and a selection of baby and toddler books and toys can be provided upon request. The location is exceptionally well connected: less than a five-minute walk brings you to the Green Line subway, offering easy access to downtown Boston and beyond—including Fenway Park, Northeastern University, Boston College, Longwood Medical Center, and Brookline. You’re also close to a major bus hub with direct routes to Harvard University, MIT, the Broad Institute, and Boston University. Harvard and MIT are also easily reached on foot or by bike. My partner and I have lived in this home for over 12 years. Work is temporarily calling us elsewhere, and we’re delighted to offer our home so others can enjoy the space and neighborhood as much as we have. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—we’d be very happy to help. *********************************************************************************************************************************************** Kitchen: Induction cooktop, Frigidaire American-style fridge freezer, Bosch dishwasher, built-in oven and microwave Living Room: TV with Roku, sofabed, piano Bedrooms: 1 with queen bed, 2 with full bed, 1 with single bed Bathrooms: 1 with jacuzzi bathtub & shower, 1 with walk-in shower, 1/2 bath off kitchen *********************************************************************************************************************************************** Within a 5 minute walk: Green Line MBTA subway and various bus stops, restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, post office, supermarkets (WholeFoods, Market Basket) Within a 25 minute walk: Harvard University, MIT
