Scape, the same British firm behind plans for an independent, unaffiliated dormitory in Fenway, has acquired a 99-year ground lease along Elm Street in Somerville.
This condo with an open floorplan in a converted industrial space is basically in the Somerville-Cambridge borderlands—a great spot. Take a look around and then take your best guess re: the price.

The first-floor unit in the two-family Queen Anne at 32 Rogers Avenue runs to a perfectly even 1,000 square feet and includes one bedroom and one bathroom.
The one-bedroom, one-bathroom spread brings not only the capaciousness one might expect from a converted industrial site, but a pyramidal skylight in the living-slash-dining room.
The apex of this nine-room condo is two and a half stories high. The spread, as capacious and sunny as one might expect from such a setup, is on sale for $1,775,000.
This 2-BR, 1-BA is part of a Philadelphia-style house—that is, a two-family with separate front doors and with at least one unit a duplex. The design is more common in the Boston area than you think.
The 12 months now ending saw the city's two priciest trades ever as well as other titanic deals that seemed to presage a permanent shift for the Somerville housing market from Cambridge or Boston Plan B to gobsmacking pricey in its own right.

The 3,409-square-foot 23 Chester Street in the fast-changing Davis Square area just hit the sales market for a price way above what it sold for 12 years ago. Times have changed in Davis. But have they changed that much?
Unit 5 at 30 Howard Street in the Davis Square area just beat the current record of $1,725,000, which 2 Foskett Street set in April 2015. Step inside the capacious champ.
Unit 1E at 70 Howard Street in Somerville is one of six condos carved from a former factory building and it shows. The spread includes ginormous windows, exposed timber, and 20-foot ceilings, never mind a polished concrete floor.
Commercial real estate brokerage Cushman & Wakefield recently came out with a report on the supposed 100 coolest neighborhoods in America. Three Boston-area enclaves made the list: Jamaica Plain, Davis Square, and Allston-slash-Brighton. Hmm...
Unit 5 at 30 Howard Street in Davis Square is in contract with an asking price of $1,799,900. If the deal closes at or near that amount, the cavernous condo would be the most expensive home ever traded in Somerville.
The gorgeous Queen Anne at 63 College Avenue in Davis Square sold for its asking price, which likely makes it the second most expensive house or condo ever traded in Somerville.
