    What's special

    Fantastic potential in this large 2-unit home, which has been in the same family for over 50 years. Recently tenanted, the ground floor 2 bedroom unit has wood floors, built-in china cabinet, butler's pantry, and direct access to rear porch and backyard with garden area and detached 1-car garage. This unit also has upgraded boiler and added insulation for efficiency. The 2nd and 3rd floors offer a 2 level unit with open concept living/dining, large kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, front and rear sunrooms, and great opportunity to renovate as condo, owner's unit, or income property. Easy commute to Cambridge, close to Mt. Auburn Street #71 bus, Hosmer School, Watertown Sq, and the much anticipated Arsenal Yards! While property needs some TLC, it has wonderful space, great bones, and awaits it's next chapter to be written by investor or owner-occupant. This is an estate sale, property will convey vacant and as is, and Buyers are encouraged to complete due diligence prior to offer.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
