Oppurtunity knocks with this large 1850 Greek Revival West Somerville "Thomas Cook House". Although reported as a 2 family in public record, this property would need some reconfiguration and renovations to make it 2 separate units. Other options could be to bring this home back to a single family residence. With 4,083 square feet of living space spread across three levels, this property offers an abundance of potential for reconfiguration, renovation, and lifestyle versatility. 2.5 baths, large rooms, impressive wide staircase and entrance hallway, period details, hardwwod floors, high ceilings and a huge basement. The large fenced-in yard space has mature plantings, a patio, potting shed and side by side parking area. Situated near major highways and the lively hubs of Teele & Davis Sqs and Tufts Univ., this prime location adds significant value. Its historic character, ample space, and excellent location make it an ideal choice for families, professionals, or developers.
