About this home

Turnkey 3-family in the heart of Codman Square — fully tenanted & cash-flowing from day one! This meticulously renovated triple-decker offers two 3BR units & one 2BR unit generating $8,425/mo in current gross income with a clear path to $9,400/mo at market rents. Over $195,000 in capital improvements including lifetime metal roof, 400-amp electrical upgrade, HVAC mini splits, new kitchens & flooring, updated plumbing & refinished hardwoods. Lead certificates in hand — no delays, no surprises. Ideal for investors seeking strong in-place income or an owner-occupant looking to live affordably while the other units pay the mortgage.
