Directly across from Dilboy Field and close to Tufts and Teele Square, this well-maintained 2-family is a prime investment opportunity with strong rental income in place. Set on a dead-end cul-de-sac and tucked off the main street across from a newly added park, the first-floor 2-bed, 1-bath unit is leased through August 2026; the upper 3-bed, 1-bath unit with private porch is leased through August 2025. Both units offer hardwood floors, separate living and dining rooms, and period charm including built-in china cabinets. A fenced backyard and off-street parking for 3+ cars add value and appeal. With stable tenants and a desirable location near transit, parks, and universities, this property is a smart addition to any portfolio. Seller welcomes offers with requests for buyer concessions.
