40 Mead St, Somerville, MA 02144

Set back from the road and nestled at the elbow of the street, this lovely single family feels cloistered but is just a short walk from shops, restaurants, parks, and public transit. From the grassy front yard, the entry door opens into a gracious foyer with original staircase on the right. To the left is the spacious, open plan living/dining area, with wood-burning fireplace and built-in china cabinet. The center hallway leads to the renovated eat-in kitchen, with light granite counters, maple cabinets, pantry, open shelving, and windows facing the side and back yards. The half bath is off the front hall and the basement door is off the kitchen near the door to the yard. Upstairs, there are 3 large bedrooms with wide pine floors; a renovated, contemporary style tiled full bath; and a back porch off the rear bedroom. The top floor is divided by the staircase and offers a great studio, office, or playspace. The shady yard is partially fenced and the parking area fits 2+ cars.
