116 School St, Somerville, MA 02143

OPEN HOUSE 4/23 CANCELLED. Exceptional Italianate two-family just half a mile from the heart of Union Square. According to the Somerville Preservation Commission, the details in this home are "nothing short of wonderful." They include wood floors, high ceilings, double arched windows with a keystone motif, substantial baseboards, pedimented windows, and highly decorated interior moldings. The house has been rented for many years and needs work, but it doesn't take a lot of imagination to envision the final product. New owners could live in one unit and rent the other, maintain the house as an investment property, or combine the two units into a substantial single-family home. Just four blocks to the new Gilman Square Green Line Station, expected to open in just a few months; also near the library, the Somerville Community Path, Bow Market, and Sarma (yum). Not much further afield you will find groceries, restaurants, local shops, Assembly Row, Inman Square, and easy access to I93.
