Welcome to 21 High Street in popular West Somerville!

Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street just half a mile from Tufts University, a mile to both the Green & Red Line subways, and steps away from the Dilboy Athletic Fields, this rare family-owned 2-family has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for over 50 years—and is now ready for its next chapter.

This sun-filled and well-maintained home offers a blend of charm and opportunity and is empty and move-in ready. The 1st floor unit features 5 rooms including 2 bedrooms, a bright living room, formal dining room with built-in hutch/bay windows, an eat-in kitchen with large pantry, full bath with clawfoot tub and access to the front porch and rear deck. The 2nd unit has 7 rooms, 3 bedrooms, a spacious living and formal dining room with hutch/bay windows, large eat-in kitchen with large pantry, 3rd floor walkup room, and access to private front and rear decks. Both units showcase period details, replacement windows, gas heat, and ample natural light.

Features include 2 hot water heaters (2019), 2 gas Burnham boilers (2010), vinyl siding, slate roof, refinished wood floors (unit 1), wheelchair lift to front entry, updated kitchen appliances and bath fixtures, plus 2 sets of new washers & dryers. Additional amenities include storage under the rear deck for outdoor tools/equipment, a fenced back yard (perfect for private enjoyment or entertainment), and off-street parking for up to 5-6 cars.

Located in Somerville’s NR Zoning District, which allows for "by-right" ADUs/cottages, this property holds excellent potential for investors, developers, or owner-occupants. Expansion potential also exists on the third floor (inclusive of plumbing hook ups already in place) & in the large full basement.

With easy access to Rt 16, Rt 2, I-93, Dilboy Field & Pool, Alewife Bike Path, Teele and Davis Squares, less than a mile to Stop & Shop and Whole Foods, and just minutes to Cambridge & Boston, this home is a prime investment in a sought-after neighborhood. High rental demand, proximity to Tufts, and walkability (Walk Score of 80) make 21 High Street an outstanding opportunity for those seeking value, location, and long-term upside.

21 High Street – A classic two-family with character, charm and an unbeatable West Somerville location.
