What's special

Central heat and airGenerous living spaceHardwood floors

Welcome to 31 Franklin Ave, a spacious Chelsea two-family that was substantially rebuilt in 2012 following a fire, giving buyers the benefit of a much newer-feeling property within a classic multi-family setup. Each unit offers 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, hardwood floors, central heat and air, generous living space, and open kitchen and dining areas. Both units will be delivered vacant, giving the next owner the flexibility to move right in, place their own tenants, or house hack from day one. With nearly 2,500 sq. ft. of living area, a full basement, city water and sewer, and convenient access to public transportation, shopping, highways and nearby amenities, this is a strong opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors looking for a well-maintained Chelsea two-family.
