6 Ward St, Somerville, MA 02143

Overview: Gut renovated lead free Somerville 2BR 2Bath 1000 sq ft house on 2 floors plus 300 sq ft of semifinished basement space, with 2 parking spots. 15 min walk to Lechmere green line T station. I put an addition on the house last year and also have gut renovated the whole 1st and 2nd floors. House shares land with another single family (I also own), but is completely detached (no sharing walls). A rarity in the area. About the house *Gut renovated to the studs and addition put on during 2014 *2 bedrooms, 2 bath. *Bedrooms and 1 bath is upstairs, living room/kitchen and 1 bath is on 1st floor. *500 sq ft on 1st floor, 500 sq ft on 2nd floor, 300 sq ft in semifinished basement. Since this is a single family, the basement is exclusive to you. Great place to store bikes. *I have a video tour of the house which shows the layout better than I can describe, I can send a link to respondent *2 off street parking spots *Washer/dryer in the basement (the pair in pictures are the old ones, new ones were purchased last year, I just don't have a picture of them yet, the picture is to show you the general setup of the laundry area) *Kitchen with Silestone countertops, brand new dishwasher/disposal/microwave over the stove, undercabinet lighting, there is a space in the kitchen for a moderate sized dining room table. *Air conditioning *Ethernet/cable/phone wired throughout *Walk in closet in one bedroom, wall to wall closet in other bedroom *No utilities are included; you'd pay for gas and electric; heat method is forced hot water powered by gas with Runtal radiators.

I the landlord also live and work in Somerville and I manage things hands on completely myself, no management companies, no realtor fees, etc. I work and live nearby and am able to act quickly on maintenance issues. I did all the interior and exterior finish work on the house myself over 2014 and managed/played a part in the rest of the work. If you are interested please write and introduce yourself, what you are looking for (hopefully in a way that I can figure out the extent to which this house matches or doesn't match that, or be confident you did that analysis to save time) and questions you have I didn't cover. 1 year lease
