Own the block and let the second unit work for you. This move-in-ready two-unit sits in one of North Reading's most sought-after pockets, and both units are delivered vacant — a clean slate to set market rents from day one with no inherited leases and no surprises. Live in one unit while the other generates income, or lease both and watch the cash flow stack in a rental market where demand keeps climbing and well-located doors don't stay empty. Gas is already available in the building, giving the next owner the flexibility to modernize the heating system — electric baseboards on the first floor and gas on the second — and move away from oil on their own terms. The location does the heavy lifting: minutes from Giant, Aldi, Target, and Redner's, with seamless access to Routes 61, 222, and 12. Turn-key, ideally positioned, and rare to find vacant — opportunities like this are claimed quickly, so schedule your private showing before it's gone.
