A Boston-based realtor reached out through a friend after seeing photos of The Harvard Ranch to see if I'd be interested in staging a 4bed/2bath condo in Somerville. I didn't even have to think about it. Why yes, yes I would very much like to. This condo is so spacious for Somerville. It's the second and third floors of a two-family, gets amazing light all day, and is walking distance to Davis Square or Porter Square. After a fresh paint job I couldn't wait to stage it.
So let's talk bar carts. I know they've become trendy in the past few years but they're great for hosting. And they don't have to be strictly booze-centric. If you're hosting a movie-night stock it up with serve-yourself popcorn and candy and extra blankets for guests. Stock it with board games and snacks. Or, you know, keep it classic and stock it with your favorite libations, cocktail napkins, and a shaker.
I put the bar cart in the dining room because it's a large room. I installed a 6-seat dining table but the room was big enough to put a larger table. Again, the room gets phenomenal light. The photos were all taken after 6pm (in September) without flash, to give you some perspective.
The kitchen is a space I would (as always) love to cook in. Not pictured, another swath of cabinets and counter space with the stainless sink, and then I also implemented a table and two chairs, but personally, I'd consider a moveable kitchen butcher block island.
Upstairs, all four bedrooms are decent sizes, with two of them being downright huge. So in those two I put queen mattresses but they could both fit kings.
In what I referred to as the teen room, I put a twin bed and this cute little desk nook.
The smallest room is my favorite. I made it into a toddler's room complete with a reading area, tons of blankets and pillows, and books.
In the master bedroom there are two walk-in closets, space for a king-size bed, dressers and armchairs. It's so roomy.
I didn't take pictures of the bathrooms, but both are spacious, one on each floor. As far as Somerville condos go, this one is spectacular in both location and size (and sunlight!). I hope whoever buys it hosts lots of gatherings with family and friends.
