Stately and solid, this 1940 brick 2-family home has stood the test of time. With over 1,300 sq ft in each of the two units, the 5-room apartments are spacious and offer an eat-in kitchen, living room with fireplace, dining room, 2 bedrooms, bath, and back deck. The unfinished basement has separate utilities and laundry hook-ups, and offers tons of storage and yard access. Outside is a large, level, and sunny backyard, the perfect outdoor space! There's a 2-car garage and a long driveway offering plenty of off-street parking. While in need of significant cosmetic upgrades, many big-ticket items have been addressed: Harvey replacement windows throughout, 2008 roof, 2016 both back decks were rebuilt, and newer Burnham steam boilers. Terrific West Somerville location, with close proximity to Tufts, Teele Square, and the walking trails along Mystic River.
