About this home
Rare legal four-family, 5,076 SF on a 5,991 SF lot, one block from Franklin Park in Dorchester's Grove Hall corridor. Projected market rents of approximately $10,650/month ($127,800/year) across the four legal units, supported by current 2026 area payment standards, with one occupied unit significantly below market, the upside is immediate and identifiable. Seller offering up to $15,000 toward buyer closing costs, rate buydown, or renovation, structure it your way. Renovated 3-bedroom among the four legal units; owner's unit delivered vacant at closing for immediate occupancy or lease-up. Two-car garage plus three off-street spaces, rare for the location. Partially finished walk-out basement with laundry adds flexible bonus space. Fast access to Blue Hill Ave, Columbia Rd, and multiple MBTA bus lines toward Downtown and Longwood. With the rent-control question struck from the November ballot, Boston small-multifamily upside is fully back on the table. Sold as-is. Detailed rent and tenancy information available to qualified buyers. (visit: https://29esmondstreet.acbrealty.online/)
