Hello world!

This bright, beautiful 2 bedroom + office has central air, newly refinished wood floors, a large private parking area, and a generously-sized yard and patio shared with the other unit. The private front entry opens to a mudroom with shelves. To the right are french doors opening to the sunken office with light streaming in from 3 sides. Another set of french doors in the office leads into the living room which offers space to entertain or relax.  The dining room has three windows and a built-in china cabinet. Just beyond it is the kitchen, which features stainless steel appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave), a tiled backsplash, pendant lights, maple cabinets, stone counters, and a pot filler faucet over the gas stove. An alcove at the rear of the kitchen contains a stacked washer and dryer. At the front entry, a third  french door leads from the mudroom to an interior foyer and a hallway leading to the coat closet, both bedrooms, and full bath. Both bedrooms face south along a private way, providing light and privacy. The tiled bathroom has a high window. The back hall from the kitchen leads to the basement door as well as the door to the rear porch, parking, and large common yard. The private storage area for Unit 1 is large (365 sq.ft.) with shelf storage. The entire right side of the wide driveway, closest to the house, belongs to Unit 1 and easily fits 2 cars. Beyond the driveway lies the common yard, which looks like a small private park, with trees, lawn, and patio. Porter St. is a short walk to Porter Sq. Red Line/commuter rail and shops. It is also within walking distance of Davis, Ball, and Magoun Sq. T stops, the Somerville Community Path, restaurants, theaters, and nightlife. Tufts, MIT, and Harvard universities can be reached by bike, foot, public transit, or car.
