About this House

Fantastic opportunity to purchase a six-family property in Somerville's highly sought-after Spring Hill neighborhood, near to Porter Square Red Line and just blocks from the Gilman Square Green Line and Bike Path, making it a commuter's dream. The property consists of six units—two studios and four two-bedroom (some can be utilized as three bedroom or three bedroom plus!) apartments—and features an enormous backyard and a large basement with ample storage. Extremely well kept and clean building with enormous upside potential for rent. The two studio units have been recently renovated, while Units 1–3 have been tastefully updated and maintained. Unit 4 is currently vacant, presenting an excellent opportunity for a new owner to renovate and increase rental income. With a well-balanced layout of three units on each side, this is a rare value-add investment opportunity in one of Somerville's most desirable locations. Please see broker for balance of photos and videos of each unit.

    "Local dog parks are very nice . Even walking around on sidewalks it’s a nice place. Usually nothing blocking the way on sidewalks. Well maintained (besides the snow) not much we can do about that "

    "The new MBTA extension will pass through it making it easier for commuters to and from the area into Boston or Medford. It's still a diverse cultural experience with a grand Brazilian shop and other smaller shops (including the reliable market, that's been there for almost 40 years), to give the Square flair and connect many of its diverse residents. I also love the memories I have here, including the Dunkin Donuts that's still there. I also enjoy the convenience of getting into Boston through it."

In my city we have bikeshare, carshare services and uber/lyft and greencab. It is also cyclist friendly -- they have bike paths and bike sections on the roads to make it easier for these commuters."
