SELLER WILL COVER YOUR CLOSING COSTS WITH A CREDIT UP TO $10,000 with any full price offer or better. 81 Marion Street presents a solid 3-family investment in a well-connected Somerville neighborhood. With 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and in-unit washer/dryer in each unit, the property is set up to attract and retain tenants. This location offers genuine convenience without the need to oversell it. Union Square Green Line station is under 1/2 mile away, putting downtown Boston within easy reach. Inman Square, Cambridge, and several MBTA bus lines are all nearby, giving tenants real commuting options. Day-to-day needs are easily met with Whole Foods, Lincoln Park, and local dining all close by. For an investor, the combination of a three-unit structure, functional layout, and a location with solid transit access makes this a straightforward rental proposition. For an owner-occupant, the ability to offset carrying costs with rental income from two units is a meaningful advantage.
