Open House Saturday, Sept 19th, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Come explore the incredible flexibility of 13 Knowlton Street, a charming and well-maintained property in a prime East Somerville location.

This versatile 2.5-story residence is currently zoned as a two-family dwelling and is perfectly positioned for an extended household looking to establish a presence in this vibrant, developing community. A welcoming front hallway leads to both levels of the home. (See MLS listing #73531647), While the first floor features hardwood floors, high ceilings, a bright kitchen with white cabinetry and granite countertops, a cozy living room, two sunny bedrooms, and a recently renovated full bathroom.

In the partially finished basement you will find a laundry area with dual hookups, a third full working bathroom, two additional rooms, and equipped with an air flow system. This level offers potential for integration into the first-floor unit as an in-law suite, further complemented by an existing private side entrance leading to the driveway. Interested parties are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding potential conversion. Exterior features include a side entry, quaint patio, a two-car driveway, and a detached garage for additional parking or storage. Don't miss this gem—easy to show!
