Then you’ll love the value in this beautiful Victorian single-family home on Alston St. in Somerville, located a stone’s throw from the McGrath elevated highway, Pat’s Tow impound lot, and the local waste transfer station.
Sure, it needs a new roof, interior paint & plaster, new siding, probably floor-refinishing, de-leading and maybe even asbestos remediation, but what an opportunity to own a home! Plus, if they ever build that proposed green line extension, you’ll just have to dash across four or five lanes of traffic to get to your trolley stop!
Secretly Ironic 
My sister used to live on that street. It was, um… lively? And very convenient for commuters, I guess.
This is what you can get here for $69K: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/reb/1039386254.html

Glad to see you back on the real estate beat! Looks like the prices have, umm, dropped a bit.

Sad thing is, at that price, it’s tempting. Like closeout drugs, or plastic surgery.
The B is for Bargain!
