This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers just under 1,500 sq. ft. of thoughtfully updated living space, perfect for anyone looking for small-town convenience with modern style. Step onto the inviting front porch (ideal for rocking chairs and morning coffee) and into a spacious living area filled with natural light, recessed lighting, and luxury vinyl flooring. The layout offers plenty of flexibility—whether you want a cozy TV space, a dining nook, or room to host game nights. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring shaker cabinets, subway tile backsplash, a breakfast bar for two, gas cooking, a wall oven, and plenty of storage. The window over the sink looks out onto the backyard, giving the space a bright and homey feel. A half bath and laundry are also conveniently located on the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a full bath, great closet space, and lots of sunlight. Three additional bedrooms and another full bathroom round out the upper level, all with comfortable carpeting for a warm, cozy vibe. Outside, enjoy a large backyard with a deck, a detached garage, and a long driveway with ample parking. While there’s no basement, the crawl space offers generous stand-up storage. Renovated in 2019 and meticulously cared for since, this home is move-in ready. Location is a highlight—just minutes from Main Street Somerville, the train station, Alfonso’s Italian, Ambee’s Coffee, Bliss Coffee, ShopRite, Trader Joe’s, Costco, Route 22, and more.
