30 Howard Street, Unit 1, Somerville
Offered At: $1,498,000
Hidden in plain sight, just 0.2mi from the red line T at Davis Square, is this magnificent brick and beam loft with rare private yard. Serenely set along the Somerville Community Path, Davis Lofts was formed in 2008 as “A unique community of individuals working together toward a lower footprint on the environment through creative and intentional design.” Occupying the southeast corner of building 30, just beyond the association’s peaceful koi pond, the unit enjoys the best of open and defined spaces and features large windows and glass doors with four sides of exposure. The post and beam construction provides 10’ ceilings and long expanses of open space. Delineated within the loft are two bedrooms, two baths, a study nook with built-in desk and shelving, and flowing entertaining spaces that walk out to the unit’s exclusive-use brick patio, raised planting beds, and yard. There is in-unit laundry, a garage parking space under the building, professional management, and a common yard. A very special find!
