Rare opportunity to acquire a substantially gutted single-family property in the highly desirable Polish Triangle neighborhood of Dorchester, being delivered with architectural plans and an approved building permit at closing for conversion and expansion into a three-unit residential building.The existing home is approximately 90% gutted, and approved plans for an addition and full conversion into three residential units, creating an attractive opportunity for either a condominium development and sellout or a long-term rental investment. Two plan configurations are available, providing options for either two or three underground parking spaces—an especially valuable amenity for new condominium or rental product in this part of Dorchester.Located just steps from JFK/UMass Station and the Red Line, 17 Buttonwood offers exceptional access to Downtown Boston, South Boston, UMass Boston, and Cambridge. The Polish Triangle's location between Dorchester and South Boston continues to make it an attractive area for both owner-occupants and renters seeking convenient transit access and proximity to the city.
