My name is Lisa. I was born and raised in Somerville. My family immigrated here from Portugal in 1966, I am the first descendant as a Portuguese-American. I had a wonderful opportunity to purchase the house next door to where I was born. As a child, I drew pictures and sketches of how I envisioned this home to be…. warm, inviting, calming, and comfortable and on and on so when the opportunity to purchase this lovely 1915 New England Colonial it was a dream come true. I was able to renovate this timeless treasure from “yesterday’s charm with today’s conveniences.”

In 2016, as my daughters became of age, I decided to sell my beloved home and purchase a new home close by, so they can live with me and have the opportunities of going to college and pursue their dreams. Once again, I have transformed this beautiful 1910 New England Colonial into a place I can call home.

I think for me it means the room has a lived-in comfort, furnishings that are overstuffed, less than perfect, warm colors, accessories that display a life of the person that lives there, a history, a warm color palate, someplace you would like to sit yourself down and enjoy a welcoming cup of tea or a glass of wine and good company.

It’s my dream to share my love of New England to anyone who would love to visit Boston and its surrounding cities.
