Somerville single-family home stylish, modern

Among all the new condos and duplex conversions in Somerville, a bona fide single-family home is a real find. As such, the renovated 1920s Victorian mansard roof at 15 Porter Street is a hot commodity – one that comes with two off-street parking spaces. Are you not allowed to drive around the block to park? Bill. Don’t share a wall with neighbors? Bill. It’s real estate heaven.

Of course, there’s so much more to the house, located just steps from Porter Square and all the dining, shopping, entertainment and people-watching your heart desires. Inside, the house was transformed with fresh, contemporary design and architectural details.

Step inside to an airy, open main level, where soaring ceilings and custom wood accents complement the natural light streaming in from every corner. The wooden elements throughout the house rebel against the ‘greige’ trend and are reminiscent of a Scandinavian-inspired design that feels warm and comforting. The spacious, stylish kitchen and dining room invite gatherings, while a convenient utility room and powder room add modern functionality.

Upstairs, the luxurious master suite is a sun-drenched retreat with a wall of south-facing windows, a skylight, a private terrace, spacious walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub and double sinks. Three additional bedrooms, including one with an en suite bathroom, provide flexible space for families, guests or home offices.

The lower level offers a cozy study and full bathroom, perfect for visitors or a secluded work space. Step outside to a private patio and small garden, ideal for al fresco dining or relaxing in an urban oasis.

Open house hours are Saturday, November 16 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The sale of the home, which is on the market for $2,250,000, is represented by Lauren Holleran Team Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, 617-913-2203.
