26 Mansfield St

About this home

Rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive property currently used as a church in Somerville’s vibrant Union Square neighborhood. Set on an approximately 3,400-square-foot parcel, this two-story building contains approximately 3,068 square feet of gross building area, according to municipal records. The property presents an exciting opportunity for a congregation, religious organization, community-oriented institution, creative user, or visionary buyer seeking a truly unique space in one of Somerville’s most dynamic locations. Its established religious use and recognizable character provide a compelling foundation for continued church, institutional, or community use, while the NR—Neighborhood Residential—zoning opens the door to exploring additional possibilities. Somerville’s zoning ordinance contemplates certain one-, two-, and three-unit residential building types within the NR district, creating intriguing potential for an adaptive reuse or residential transformation, subject to applicable requirements and approvals. Whether preserved as a place of worship, reimagined for a compatible community-focused purpose, or evaluated for a thoughtfully designed residential concept, 26 Mansfield Street offers a rare combination of character, flexibility, and location. Conveniently positioned near Union Square’s restaurants, neighborhood businesses, public transportation, and the Green Line Extension, this is an exceptional opportunity to establish a lasting presence in a well-connected and continually evolving Somerville neighborhood.
