Available 11/1/25 is a one-of-a-kind, newly renovated 1-bedroom apartment in Somerville's Union Square, housed in a beautifully restored Romanesque church built by none other than the Hood dairy man himself. The building's original stained glass and detailed woodwork give the space a unique historic character you won't find anywhere else.
Inside, you'll find hickory floors, a modern kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, plus the convenience of laundry in building, a garbage disposal, and a dishwasher. The renovated bathroom has a fresh, updated feel, and with central air, you'll be comfortable no matter the season.
It's the perfect mix of modern living and historic charm in a truly special setting!
