Room to breathe is hard to find this close to the city, and this home has it inside and out. This four-bedroom, two-bath single-family offers comfortable, flexible living in Somerville's Winter Hill neighborhood. Updated lighting and coffered ceilings highlight the home's charm, and the open flow between the living and dining areas works well for both relaxed nights in and gatherings with family and friends. The eat-in kitchen is a natural spot for morning coffee or quick weeknight meals, and the first-floor bonus space with bow windows invites you to curl up on the couch with a book or use it as a home office or playroom. Upstairs, four bedrooms provide room to grow, work from home, or host guests with ease. Ductless mini-splits provide efficient heating and air conditioning, keeping the home comfortable year-round. Outside, the spacious covered patio is ready for summer dinners and rainy-day relaxing, while the fenced yard creates a private retreat for gardening, play, or simply unwinding. An oversized paver driveway with parking for three cars is a rare city convenience, and the home is ready for your EV with Level 2 charging. Just minutes from Assembly Square's shops, restaurants, and riverfront, and less than a mile to Gilman Square, the Green Line, and the Community Path, this home offers the perfect balance of neighborhood comfort and city access.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
