Property Description

Perched above the trees in a prime Porter Square location, this top-floor two-bedroom home offers an ideal city retreat. Cathedral ceilings and skylights fill the residence with natural light, creating an airy feel throughout. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly to a private deck — perfect for morning coffee or al fresco dining with a view. A well-appointed kitchen connects easily, while remaining distinct from the main living space. A large primary bedroom with generous closet and an inviting second bedroom with extra storage make for flexible living options. Additional highlights include central A/C; hardwood floors; in-unit laundry; dedicated storage; and off-street parking for one car. Recent updates include a new roof (2025) and full lead compliance. Located just two blocks to Porter Square (Red Line & commuter rail), with convenient access to shops, dining, Davis Square, Mass Ave, and the Somerville Community Path.
