About this home

Major Dorchester asset coming to market. A three-family: 3,505 SF above grade across three 3BR/1BA units, plus an 888.6 SF finished lower level with a full bath. NEW HEATING SYSTEMS. Tenants pay gas, heat, and electric; owner pays water and sewer only. All three tenancies are TENANT AT WILL — NO LEASES IN PLACE.Unit 1 at $2,700. Unit 2 owner-occupied and available at closing ($3,000–$3,200 potential). Unit 3 at $3,000 (potential $3,200). Collected today: $5,700/mo.
