    What's special

    Unfinished attic
    Great opportunity to own this beautiful and well maintained separately metered 2-family home on a quiet street. Each unit is two-bedrooms; one with an additional office and one with a balcony. The first floor unit will be delivered vacant by closing and both units have lead certs available, making this a viable option for a buyer looking to make this an income producing home. The detached 2-car garage and common area laundry hookups makes this as convenient as can be for everyone. Adding to that convenience, the property is just a short distance from Cushing Square and Belmont, as well as Watertown square where you can take the T into the city. If you’re looking to add space or income to the property, the unfinished attic has already had plumbing lines brought up, making it easier to finish into more usable space. Tons of opportunity here to own a solid property in an established area, with potential to further increase the income.
