The Skinny: This 4-BR single-family near both Davis and Powder House squares in Somerville dates from the 1900, and the listing for it said it needs some "TLC" to restore it to "its original grandeur." Certainly looks that way, starting with the 1 bathroom. But there is a built-in china cabinet, pocket doors and hardwood floors. And vintage wallpaper.
