We're happy to say that we've had an offer accepted for the purchase of a condo in Somerville, which is a small city wedged in between Boston's Charlestown neighbourhood to the east and Cambridge to the west. The condo is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath unit occupying the top two floors of a 3-story building. The house was built in 1890 and the ground floor contains one other unit. It's a 5-minute walk to the Orange line of the subway, which in about 12 minutes will drop Kate off very close to her office downtown. It's less than 3 miles from MIT, so Don should have about a 15 minute bike ride to campus. Last weekend we went for an inspection of the property, which turned up a few minor issues, but nothing of too much concern. So, here are some pictures of our new home (well, it'll be ours after Oct 10).
Front door:
Living Room:
Kitchen:
Master Bedroom:
(the original staircase of the house has been covered over with hardwood - that's the rectangle you see on the ground)
Master Bathroom:
Deck:
(we expect to spend many a fine night barbequing on the deck!)
There are two other bedrooms & another bath so everyone is expected to come and visit! We look forward to finally having our own place and being out of the tiny apartment we are in right now.

wow - i love your new place! can't wait to come visit. congratulations!
It looks charming! Do you have a yard? I, too can hardly wait to come and see it in person. Congratulations, Don and Kate!
No yard, which is bad. But that means no yard maintenance, which is good.
very cool :)
