Offered at $1,250,000
Welcome to this gracious Victorian single-family home tucked along a quiet side street and private way just moments from vibrant Union Square. Positioned prominently on a corner lot, this nearly 2,000 square foot residence blends timeless character with thoughtful updates, offering warmth, flexibility, and exciting future potential.
Inside, the home unfolds with the gracious details one hopes to find in a Victorian of this era. A beautiful curved staircase welcomes you upon entry, while generous living and dining spaces create a natural flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Sunlight moves beautifully throughout the home, highlighting its original proportions and inviting atmosphere.
A later addition expanded the home with a spacious eat-in kitchen designed to serve as the center of daily life. Just beyond, an enormous private deck extends the living space outdoors, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. Whether hosting summer dinners, tending to container gardens, or enjoying quiet evenings beneath the open sky, the outdoor space becomes a true extension of the home itself.
Upstairs, four generous bedrooms provide flexibility for changing lifestyles, including a spacious primary suite with adjoining bath. One front bedroom features a charming walk-in closet that feels like a quiet nod to the home’s Victorian past. Throughout, the spaces feel comfortable, adaptable, and ready for the next owner’s personal vision.
The exterior was refreshed with rich blue siding a few years ago, giving the home a vibrant but timeless presence along the street, beautifully complemented by the meticulously maintained slate roof overhead.
With central air, gas HVAC, attic storage, full basement, newer hot water tank, and outdoor space large enough for the lush city garden many dream of, this is a home that allows its next owner to move right in while still making it entirely their own.

A Day Here...Morning begins quietly at 31 Loring Street. Sunlight moves across the slate roof and filters softly into the kitchen as coffee brews and the city slowly wakes beyond Union Square. In warmer months, the enormous deck quickly becomes part of everyday life, a peaceful outdoor room for breakfast, gardening, reading, or simply taking in the fresh morning air.
Inside, the home carries the comfortable rhythm of spaces that have been lived in and loved over time. The curved staircase, generous rooms, and soft natural light create a feeling that is both welcoming and grounded. There is room here to gather with friends, work from home, host long dinners, or simply enjoy a quiet evening tucked away from the pace of the city.
As the day winds down, the deck glows softly beneath evening light while the house settles once again into its timeless warmth. It is the kind of home that feels increasingly rare in Somerville, full of character, possibility, and the quiet sense that it is ready for its next chapter.
