About this home

Excellent opportunity on the Newton line! Spacious two-family home ideally located close to shopping, restaurants, and public transportation. Each unit offers a flexible layout featuring a full cabinet kitchen, large living room, three bedrooms, and tile bathroom. Separate systems provide convenience for both owners and tenants. The property offers strong potential but does require some tender loving care, making it ideal for investors, contractors, or buyers looking to add value. Additional highlights include a 2021 roof, attic storage, and good off-street parking. Situated on a large corner lot offering potential for renovation, redevelopment, or new construction (buyer to perform due diligence). With its desirable location and solid layout, this property presents a great opportunity for rental income, condo conversion, owner occupancy, or building new. Bring your ideas and vision to unlock the full potential of this well-located multi-family property.
