1060 Broadway, Unit 117, Somerville MA 02144

Sold for $1,190,000

When Sebastian Mariscal responded to the City of Somerville’s RFP to redevelop the former Powder House Community School - a brutalist building with little light and connection to the landscape, he saw an opportunity to reunite 4 elements that feed the soul (Community, Architecture, Landscape & Art).

An inspired new opportunity in Somerville, CALA is more than a real estate project, it is an idea - a blank canvas on which life will happen. It is a place that will reflect the larger diverse, intergenerational & artistic Somerville community; a place that will bring people together in a setting that is filled with vegetation and art; a place where the experience does not end at your front door. From a building built of concrete and steel, he carved beautiful & rich living spaces; private canvases on which its inhabitants will build their own life experiences. The ceilings are high, the windows and glass run from from the floor to the ceiling, each unit has its own intimate outdoor space, and, while all different, the layouts support both quiet and animated time at home.

With 1,463 square feet, UNIT 117 is a townhouse with its own entrance accessed through a fenced private patio. It has 2 bedrooms, a dramatic living room, a loft or home office and 2 full baths.

We invite you to come and learn more about the project and experience the CALA concept for yourself!
