About this home
Sunshine, flexibility, and a great Roslindale location come together at this distinctive corner-lot two-family. With its south-facing exposure, the property feels bright and open, while the thoughtful unit mix offers excellent versatility for an owner-occupant, investor, or multigenerational household. The spacious upper unit features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, while the lower unit offers a comfortable 1-bedroom, 1-bath layout.Two-car tandem parking adds everyday convenience, and the full basement provides additional storage and utility space. The roof and solar panels were installed in 2019, and the solar system is fully paid off.Best of all, Roslindale Village Center and the commuter rail are less than a half-mile walk away, putting shops, restaurants, neighborhood favorites, and an easy connection into Boston close at hand. With approximately 2,050 square feet, four bedrooms, three full baths, owned solar, parking, and a terrific Roslindale setting, this is a two-family with a lot to offer.
