The vision for
Bolton Grove.
Eight homes around a quiet grove — two addresses, each with a duplex, a flat, a penthouse, and a private cottage behind.
Small, on purpose.
Most new developments repeat one floor plan until the lot is full. Bolton Grove does the opposite — eight distinct homes on a single Somerville lot, arranged so the buildings stay modest and the planting between them keeps the upper hand.
The two addresses — 6 Bolton and 8 Bolton — sit toward the street, close enough to feel neighborly. Each holds a duplex, a flat, and a penthouse, with a cottage of its own standing apart behind, off the planted walk that runs the length of the lot.
One place,
eight front doors.
From the street the grouping reads as two quiet buildings and a pair of cottages — not a complex. Up close, each home has its own entrance, its own light, and a plan you won't find next door.

Ownership,
looked after.
Eight homes share this land, and the association exists so that shared ground is never anyone’s chore. Landscaping, snow, exteriors, insurance — handled before you notice they needed doing.
Every owner holds title to their residence and an undivided interest in the common areas — the walk, the parking, and the building structures and grounds. A professional management company administers the association day to day, under a board elected by the owners themselves.
At eight homes, the association is deliberately small. There is no amenity program to subsidize and no scale to hide behind: every dollar goes to the property itself, and decisions are made by the people who live here.
