What's special

Well-located three-family home just minutes from downtown and the commuter rail, offering strong investment or owner-occupant potential. The first floor features a spacious three-bedroom, one full bath unit with hardwood flooring, a renovated kitchen, heated mudroom, laundry room/pantry, and an additional bonus room for flexible use. The second floor includes two one-bedroom apartments, each with its own bonus room, updated flooring, and newer cabinetry. All utilities are fully separate, with individual gas furnaces and electrical panels, plus town water and sewer. Each unit is currently on a month-to-month lease, providing flexibility and upside—rents are below market and could be increased. A detached two-car garage offers added income potential or convenient storage for an owner-occupant. The flat, level yard adds to the property’s appeal for tenants or personal enjoyment.
