About this home
RARE FIND! Large, well-cared-for 3-family near the Arnold Arboretum with owner-occupant, house-hack, investor, or buy-and-hold flexibility. One apartment is expected to be available for occupancy or re-leasing, creating immediate optionality. Set on a large, sun-facing lot with an oversized private backyard, off-street parking, and outdoor space to relax. Professionally managed and cared for by the same family for many years, with strong rental history and consistent resident appeal. Units offer similar floor plans, large rooms, hardwood floors, separate heat/electric, a newer rubber roof, and a high-ceiling basement. Convenient to Forest Hills, Roslindale Village, the Arnold Arboretum, Longwood, universities, Downtown Boston, and transit. Rent roll, expense summary, utility responsibility, and systems information available upon request.
