We are pleased to present Al Peterson’s newest project in Porter Square, Somerville, on the Cambridge line. 49 Cedar Street consists of two custom residences in a completely restored & redesigned two family. Each residence will have two levels of living, deck & or exclusive use patio-garden areas. The workmanship of the restoration & renovation is built to last, blending a balance of contemporary style & classic materials. An example of this is the use of traditional tongue & groove oak flooring with sound attenuating features between the residences. Al Peterson works closely with Dunja Vujinic and Reisen Design Associates, because of their like-minded approach to design & quality of construction.

Along with sophisticated finishes, the building & residences are designed for quiet between units as well as energy efficiency. All appliances & mechanicals were selected to meet or exceed the standards used for 5 Star energy ratings.

A one year limited builder’s warranty & manufacturer warranties will be provided.
