Spacious 3BR/1.5BA + Office Duplex in the Heart of Davis Square Steps from the Red Line
Welcome to 27 Paulina Street #2, one of Somerville's most sought-after streets and one of the best locations in the entire city. This stunning, sun-filled apartment spans the second and third floors of a well-maintained two-family home and offers the space, character, and convenience that renters rarely find all in one place.
Inside, gleaming hardwood floors run throughout every room, lending warmth and elegance to the entire unit. The open-concept living and dining area is expansive and bright perfect for entertaining or simply spreading out after a long day. The eat-in kitchen provides ample room for casual meals, while a dedicated home office gives remote workers, students, or creatives the private workspace they need. All three bedrooms are generously sized, offering real comfort and flexibility.
A private back porch provides your own outdoor retreat, ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Two dedicated off-street parking spots are included an exceptional and valuable perk in Somerville. Laundry is a breeze with a dedicated, free washer and dryer in the basement exclusively for your use.
Getting Around Couldn't Be Easier
Davis Station on the MBTA Red Line is just 0.3 miles away, making this one of the most transit-accessible addresses in all of Greater Boston. From Davis, you're connected directly to Cambridge (Porter, Harvard, Central, Kendall/MIT), Downtown Boston, and beyond no transfers needed. Porter Square station on the Red Line and the Fitchburg Line commuter rail are also located just across the Somerville border in Cambridge, giving you additional commuting flexibility. Multiple MBTA bus routes serve the neighborhood as well, with connections toward Harvard Square, Sullivan Square, and beyond.
The Neighborhood
This area is considered a walker's paradise with excellent transit and is also a biker's paradise and it shows. The Somerville Community Path, a beloved walking and biking trail, winds through the city and links residential areas while offering a convenient and scenic connection between neighborhoods.
Davis Square itself is one of Greater Boston's most vibrant and beloved hubs. The iconic Somerville Theatre, built in 1914, offers films, live performances, and even beer and wine with real butter on your popcorn. The neighborhood is accessible right off the Red Line, with Tufts University nearby and an eclectic mix of small, independent businesses.
The dining and cafe scene is exceptional. Nine Bar Espresso on Holland Street pours window-service drinks featuring local roaster Gracenote Coffee, with fresh pastries and egg sandwiches practically at your doorstep. Diesel Cafe has been Somerville's beloved neighborhood gathering spot since 1999, known for specialty coffee, light bites, a vintage photo booth, pool tables, and an outdoor seating area. For dinner, options abound: Five Horses Tavern and Elm Street Taproom are both within easy walking distance, each offering craft beer, locally sourced menus, and a welcoming atmosphere. Dave's Fresh Pasta, a Somerville institution, offers handmade pasta, sandwiches, charcuterie, cheese, and wine just around the corner.
