BOM DUE TO BUYER’S FINANCING ONLY! Incredible value-add opportunity at this price point to acquire a two-family property in a prime location at the foot of desirable Ashmont Hill, just steps to the MBTA. Perfect for investors, contractors, or owner-occupants looking to build equity. The second unit will be delivered vacant and spans two full levels, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and the potential to reconfigure or expand the layout to maximize value and rental income. The first-floor unit is tenant occupied and currently in the eviction process AND to minimize buyer risk, the seller will escrow ALL FUNDS necessary to complete the eviction. Hardwood floors, generous living space, and tremendous upside make this an outstanding investment opportunity. Probate approval has already been obtained, allowing for a quick closing.
