    My favorite story about this home is that the last time it was on the market, the family living there was raising chickens. Since the sellers were moving to Texas, my clients and I figured they wouldn't be bringing the birds with them, so we wrote them into our offer -- and got them! It turned out to be a short-lived experiment with urban farming, and alas, the chickens now have a new home. As it turned out, being in the midst of coronavirus, we ended up selling this home off

    It’s hard to find a 3-bedroom condo in Somerville for under a million — they tend to all be “luxury” renovations with 1,700 – 2,000 SF and are out of reach for many homebuyers.

    Late summer house hunting? Try these!
