A
Somerville property has been transformed from a three-family home destroyed by fire into a stunning single-family residence. The rebuilt 34 Walker St. boasts five bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a spacious 4,750-square-foot layout. Priced at $3,199,900, the property features an outdoor kitchen with a walk-in pantry and high-end appliances.

    The primary suite includes a custom closet, private covered porch, and radiant-heated bathroom flooring. Additional highlights include two fireplaces, a laundry room with a drop-down ironing board, solid white oak flooring, and a home office with custom cabinets and an atrium door to a balcony.

    Owner Jacqueline Arbuckle played a significant role in the reconstruction process, which also included upgrading various features throughout the house. Listing agent Stephen Bremis notes that these upgrades are "totally unique" and not typically seen in homes of this caliber.

    The property's open layout on the first floor is particularly notable, with potential for hosting parties. The home is situated on a 0.08-acre lot with an improved driveway, two off-street parking spaces, a fenced-in yard, patio, and three-zone sprinkler system. It's located near Nathan Tufts Park and Tufts University's athletic fields.

New single-family home rises on former Somerville site of devastating tragedy.
