Driving Directions

A rare Somerville two-family on a quiet street in the heart of Gilman Square and at a price point that works for value-add buyers and owner-occupants alike. The 1st floor offers true flexibility: configure it as a 1 bed/1 bath or expand to 2 bed/1 bath with the existing pocket doors. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious 4 bed/2 bath unit with both bathrooms completely gut renovated in 2015. Super tall ceilings and great width throughout give both units an airy, oversized feel that tenants notice immediately. A double-wide curb cut with three-car off-street parking and a private backyard round out the package. The systems are solid too: Harvey vinyl windows from 2017, significant electrical work completed in 2025, washer 2019, and dryer 2025 mean many of the big-ticket items are behind you. One block to the Gilman Square Green Line station, and steps to the Community Path bike trail, Sarma, Winter Hill Brewing Co, and much more. Opportunities like this don't come around often!
