About This Home

- NO FEE! Welcome to 53 Bow Street, a beautifully updated unit in the heart of Union Square! You couldn't ask for a better location - across the street from popular hangout Bow Market, and just down the street from local favorites: the Neighborhood, Himalayan Kitchen, Bloc Cafe, and of course the original Union Square Donuts. Market Basket (grocery store) is also around the corner for ultimate convenience. Also a commuter's dream: the bus literally stops outside your door - goes inbound to Kendall/MIT (in 15 minutes!) and outbound to Arlington Center, while the new Green Line T stop a couple blocks away gives you direct access to all of Somerville and downtown Boston. Huge bi-level unit, with 4 bedrooms plus a separate office for any WFH-ers. The main floor has two bedrooms - one with a charming fireplace and the other with a large walk-in closet. One of the upstairs bedrooms is enormous and could easily be its own studio, easily accommodating a couch and desk with room to spare. The rest of the main floor is made up of living room, kitchen and bathroom. The updated kitchen has Quartz countertops, all new stainless steel appliances including dishwasher. Bathroom is fully gut-renovated, with large modern walk-in shower. Brand new white oak laminate flooring and tons of closets throughout. There is extra storage space in the unfinished basement plus laundry machines. The cherry on top is the beautiful outdoor space: huge backyard with stone pavers and large pergola - an urban oasis in the heart of it all! Due at signing are 1st month's rent and security deposit. Inquire to schedule a showing, this unit won't last! Application: No Pets Allowed (RLNE8202872) Other Amenities: Parking, Yard, Patio, Deck.

Neighborhood

Just six miles north of downtown Boston, Prospect Hill in Somerville offers residents an energetic community filled with independent shops and restaurants. Like many places in Somerville and other nearby communities in Cambridge and Charleston, this neighborhood has rich ties to American history. In the 1700s, George Washington ordered the raising of the first American flag on Prospect Hill Tower, which still stands today.

Several buses run through the neighborhood, connecting workers to Boston and Cambridge without the need for a car. The commercial district centers on Union Square, with many triple-decker homes and apartments for rent packed into the nearby side streets. Locally owned restaurants and bars charm locals and visitors each day. Residents love starting their early mornings with a walk over to award-winning Union Square Donuts to pick up handmade donuts with creative flavors.
