    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

    For a brief stint between selling my former condo and buying our new house, my husband I rented just around the corner from here and I have to say that of all the places I've lived in Cambridgeville, this was definitely my favorite location. It happened to be during the winter of 2015 when we got SO MUCH snow, and even with the roads a disaster and the city practically shut down, we could walk around the corner to 1369 to get coffee -- amazing!

    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. My new listing is a rare exception — a smaller-scale 3-bed at 1,130 SF, it’s layout wastes no space and allows for a reasonable price point with the benefit of having room for guests, a home office, etc. Definitely worth checking out… Here's a link to more pix, floorplans and 3D tour.
