31 Ames St, Somerville, MA 02145

Seldom does such an elegant, well-preserved single-family home become available in such a prime Somerville location. Rich in period details and quality craftsmanship, the original integrity of this home has been preserved through thoughtful updates and lovingly cared for over the generations. Grand living spaces, across two floors are trimmed with original millwork, custom built-ins and pristine hardwood floors, while the more recently finished third level offers respite among the tree tops. Showing larger than its 2,580 sq.ft, due in part to the considerable ceiling height throughout, this home’s flexible living spaces are beautifully married by stained glass windows that punctuate a delicately ornate staircase. Modern amenities, including forced central air, updated bathrooms, an oversized eat-in kitchen, two car driveway and a stunning shade garden highlight the perfect combination of prideful ownership and enduring grace exemplified throughout this striking, welcoming home.
