About this home
We are pleased to present a rare opportunity to purchase a mixed-use brownstone located along Boston’s iconic Commonwealth Avenue in Kenmore Square. 470 Commonwealth consists of six residential units complemented by street-level retail and first-floor commercial space, offering investors a diversified income stream in one of the city’s most sought after corridors. The residential units feature classic, 1930s-era architectural details, and the commercial component benefits from strong visibility and foot traffic. The property is further enhanced by four private off-street parking spaces, a highly coveted amenity in this location. Colloquially referred to as 470 Comm Ave, it presents investors with long-term appreciation potential in a premier submarket. Tours will begin in the coming weeks.
