About this home

A prime 3-family investment on a sunny corner lot in the vibrant Dorchester/Roxbury neighborhood. This rare turnkey property features a fully renovated unit with three bedrooms, one bath, a bright living room, and a modern kitchen—ideal for immediate occupancy or high-yield rental income. Recently purchased from long-time owners, it showcases rich woodwork, classic built-ins, and gleaming hardwood flooring that add character throughout. A 2015 roof and updated heating system provide efficiency and peace of mind.The lower level includes a half bath and offers incredible potential to be finished for additional living, office, or recreational space (buyer to perform due diligence). Offering 19 rooms, 9 bedrooms, 3 full baths and half, and 4 fireplaces across three levels, there is significant upside for value-add, expansion, or future condo conversion. An absolute commuter’s dream, conveniently located near downtown Boston, commuter rail, bus lines, and top-tier neighborhood restaurants
