Fire in Teele Square Somerville
I couldn’t figure out what was holding up traffic in Teele Square this afternoon. Turns out it was people gawking at the damage left by last night’s fire in Teele Square Somerville. What a sight!
The fire was discovered at about 11 pm last night, Saturday. That must have been a challenge – fighting the fire in the middle of the bizarre October snowstorm.
Fire damage in Teele Square Somerville
The damage is extreme – hard to believe actually given the block’s proximity to the fire station around the corner. The damage extends for almost the entire block in the center of Teele Square between Clarendon Ave and the intersection of Elm Street and Broadway.
Hawk Cleaners at the corner was destroyed – you can still see some of the blackened dry cleaning hanging on the rack amid the rubble. The space holding the nail salon next door was also destroyed. The next few storefronts, including the Chinese restaurant Kee Kar Lau and the Somerville police substation are boarded up. At the end of the block a hair salon and Rudy’s restaurant seemed to be intact though Rudy’s was closed for the day because of the fire with signs posted that they hope to be able to open by Monday evening.
It’s a sobering sight – the devastation that fire can cause so quickly no matter how close the firefighters may be.

281 Alewife Brook Parkway Somerville MA
Welcome to 281 Alewife Brook Pkwy
We had a 28-property tour of new listings today. Whew! That’s a lot of properties in one outing! We saw some really wonderful places but I have to say that my favorite was 281 Alewife Brook Parkway in Somerville MA. Now granted, I’m biased – it’s my new listing. But it really is a super two-family house so it tops my list of favorites.
Most multi-families on the market are projects – panelling, wallpaper, grungy bathrooms, rental quality kitchens, etc. 281 Alewife Brook Parkway on the other hand is a gem – stylishly renovated kitchens, rooms painted in designer colors, custom blinds, new light fixtures, etc. – you can move right in. All the modern improvements complement the beautiful architectural details – fluted columns, wood floors, exceptionally handsome built-in hutches, etc.
