Fully renovated 2024-2025 and converted from two-family to single-family, 16 Boston Ave sits on a tree-lined block between Davis Square and Ball Square, close to the Red Line, Magoun Square, and the Community Path. The main level opens into a living room with gas fireplace, a dining room, and a chef's kitchen with oversized island, stone counters, upgraded cabinetry, gas range with vent hood, pantry, and wet bar. The second floor holds three bedrooms, two full baths, and laundry. The third-floor primary suite, added in the renovation, features a wall of windows, skylight, walk-in closet, and full bath with double vanity. Four bedrooms, three full baths and a half bath on the main levels, plus an additional full bath in the basement. Hardwood floors throughout the main levels. Systems are new: two heat-pump systems with central air, gas tankless water heater, spray foam insulation, 200-amp electrical service, fiber-cement siding, new roof and windows. Outside, a front porch, second-floor balcony, fenced yard, rear decks, and a paved driveway with off-street parking. The basement was previously finished; portions of walls and flooring have been removed due to ongoing water infiltration. The property is being sold as-is in its current condition. Buyers should expect to explore construction or alternative financing. See Disclosures; documentation available through the listing agent.
