Description
Historic Charm Meets Modern Convenience in Downtown SomervilleA rare opportunity to own a charming two-unit home in the heart of Somerville, combining historic character, rental income, dedicated parking, and low-maintenance ownership just moments from vibrant downtown.The first-floor unit features a spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bath layout with a living room, formal dining room, and kitchen. Long-term tenants currently pay $2,000 per month, and the layout offers potential for reconfiguration into a 2-bedroom unit for added future value.The recently renovated second-floor unit features 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a versatile bonus room. Restored original hardwood floors, fresh paint, and updated lighting complement its preserved historic charm. This unit is currently rented for $2,800 per month under a six-month tenant agreement.Each unit has two entrances for added privacy and two dedicated off-street parking spaces. A welcoming wraparound porch with low-maintenance composite decking, a large dry basement with laundry hookups, and ample storage add to the property's appeal.A long-standing shared parking arrangement includes lawn care, snow removal, parking lot repairs, and lot maintenance, saving the owner an estimated $5,000 annually.Conveniently located near NJ Transit with direct NYC service and close to Somerville's restaurants, shops, cafés, and entertainment, this property offers a compelling blend of character, convenience, and income potential.
