Incredible opportunity to own a well-maintained three-family home on a leafy, tree-lined Somerville street, directly across from a sweet neighborhood park with grassy fields. A versatile property offering excellent potential as an income-producing investment, condo conversion, or multi-generational home.The first and second floors each feature comfortable two-bedroom apartments, while the third floor offers a cozy one-bedroom apartment. All three units have been well maintained and feature hardwood floors, eat-in kitchens with dishwashers, and a pleasing mix of decks and porches. The property also offers a quaint backyard, long driveway and two-bay garage, providing valuable off-street parking for residents. Additional amenities include laundry and private storage in the basement, making this a practical and attractive property for both owners and tenants. The natural setting and large park directly across the street add a wonderful neighborhood feel that is increasingly hard to find. Conveniently located between Somerville's Orange and Green Lines, with easy access to downtown Boston, Cambridge, and Assembly Row, including its popular restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and waterfront attractions. A solid investment, this three-family offers plenty of possibilities. Recently, the seller has replaced the windows with new replacement vinyl windows.
