Our house is an original but modernized 1880s cottage right in Davis Square, Somerville. It has a small front and back yard. Upstairs there is the main bedroom and two others used as offices plus bathroom. Downstairs there is a sitting room, dining room and kitchen (plus a basement with laundry). The red line is three minutes walk away but all necessary shopping (with exception of large supermarkets) can be done in Davis Square. This is a lively interesting area with good restaurants and downtown Boston is 20 minutes away on the T. Most importantly there is an elderly cat, Polly who is little trouble but expects to be fed morning and night. There is on street parking with a permit. Tufts University is up the hill.Harvard Square is two stops on the T.
