Tucked behind Porter Square and on a hidden side road immediately off Orchard St, this home is the perfect blend of urban and tranquil. The exclusive use driveway leads you to the side yard and then the large private porch. The main entry is sheltered by the porch and the first floor is a spacious 764 sf. Here you’ll find a modern kitchen and bath, plus an unusually generous living room and bedroom. Ample windows surround all rooms on this level and the bedroom has two custom closets. Follow stairs down from the kitchen into an additional 666 sf of valuable and extremely flexible finished basement space. Heating and AC on both floors is via recently installed Mistubishi cold weather heat pumps. The larger of the two lower level rooms is nearly 260 sf of open space, is lit on both ends with window wells and has its own egress. Just 0.2 miles to Porter, 0.3 to Davis and within easy reach of all Cambridge and Somerville have to offer.
