Powder House Blvd, Somerville

At Genesis Construction and Development, we specialize in transforming overlooked properties into exceptional homes that define luxury living. Our recent project on Powder House Boulevard in Somerville exemplifies this mission perfectly. What began as an aging two-family property has become one of the area's most impressive single-family residences through our comprehensive gut renovation approach. 

About The Client

This Powder House Boulevard property represented a classic Somerville transformation opportunity. The existing two-family home, built in an era when multi-family housing dominated the neighborhood, had become outdated for contemporary living standards. The vision was clear: convert this aging duplex into a single-family residence that would meet modern expectations for luxury, space, and design sophistication.

The existing structure presented challenges typical of older multi-family homes in the area. The compartmentalized layout inherent to duplex design created disconnected living spaces that lacked flow and cohesion. Outdated mechanical systems, worn finishes, and the constraints of serving two separate households had left the property far from its potential. Despite these challenges, the solid construction and prime Somerville location made it an ideal candidate for complete transformation. What was needed was a team capable of seeing beyond the current limitations to envision and execute a comprehensive renovation that would rival new construction.

Our Approach

We began with a complete gut renovation, stripping the structure down to its studs. This gave us the freedom to reconfigure the layout and transform two separate living units into one cohesive residence, addressing both structural modifications and aesthetic updates that would define the home's new identity.

• Maximized 4,097 square feet with an intimate, livable floor plan
• Configured five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms with purposeful placement
• Transformed the basement into valuable finished living space
• Designed traffic flow patterns suited for modern family lifestyles
• Coordinated multiple specialized trades while maintaining project timeline
• Converted dual mechanical systems into a single, efficient system

The selection and installation of high-end finishes required our most experienced craftsmen and careful coordination with premium suppliers. We maintained exacting standards across every surface and system, ensuring consistent luxury quality from basement to top floor. Our project managers handled the innovative solutions and careful planning this comprehensive transformation demanded.

Results

Completed in July 2025, the Powder House Boulevard residence now stands as a flagship renovation project for Genesis Construction and Development. The home features 4,097 square feet of meticulously crafted living space with five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and a finished basement that provides flexible space for evolving needs. This successful conversion from multi-family to single-family luxury residence has set a new benchmark for renovation projects in Somerville and reinforces our position as the region's premier choice for high-end residential transformations.
