10 Francis Street in Somerville MA is a single family near the crest of Spring Hill above Porter Square.  It’s one of the most charming houses I’ve sold in my real estate career and it’s time for lucky new homeowners to call it home.

The house has four bedrooms – three on the second floor and a fourth on the third floor.  The lovely staircase leads up to the top floor past a stained glass window that opens and has its original hardware.  In addition to the bedoom there’s an attic room for storage or expansion.

The master bedroom has a box bay and a wonderful alcove for a study or dressing area.  The full bath and two additional bedrooms can be found on the second floor.

Downstairs at 10 Francis Street there’s a gracious stairhall entry with double doors leading to the living room.  The living room has a box bay and a beautifully trimmed archway to the dining room.  Light streams into the kitchen with its vintage Roper stove,  IKEA modular cabinets, and fridge with freezer under.  A vestibule with coat closet leads to the backyard.

The house has been well loved over the years but not renovated.  The electrical service has been upgraded to 200 amps with a sub-panel on the third floor.  The furnace was replaced a few years ago.  New owners may want to paint and redo the floors before moving in.  The floors will be beautiful – there’s maple on the first floor, oak on the second, and probably pine on the third.  Other details that add to the house’s appeal are handsome moldings with bullseye trim, stained glass, built-ins, high ceilings, and plenty of big windows.

The yard at 10 Francis Street  is fully enclosed and the sellers have planted fruit trees and bushes.  They took out many a pint of raspberries from the backyard last year.  Parking is on street with a resident sticker.

Located just around the corner from Highland Ave, 10 Francis Street is walkable to Porter Square, Davis Square and the bike path.
