245 Beacon St Unit #5, Somerville, MA 02143$810,000

Reimagined and crafted from within the landmark 1894 Durell School, 245 Beacon Street Unit 5 is a thoroughly modern home with soaring ceilings and massive windows. A flexible, open dining and living area welcomes you into the space, and a generous coat closet is in easy reach. The ample windows make the most of the unit’s Southern exposure–while central air conditioning keeps everything cool in the summer. Extras include off-street parking, in-unit laundry, private basement storage and a shared back patio. With a new bike path in front of the building, Porter Square 6/10 of a mile away, Harvard, Union and Inman Squares each less than 8/10 of a mile; the cherry on top is a superb location surrounded by the very best of both Cambridge and Somerville.
