About this property

A rare development / investment opportunity in Charlestown available for the first time. The combined 3,500± sq ft lot features 50'+ of street frontage which includes an existing curb cut with off-street parking for 3 or more vehicles—an exceptional advantage in this neighborhood. Zoned 3F-2000, the property offers meaningful flexibility for future redevelopment or renovation. Currently configured as a side by side two-family, it provides income potential while allowing a buyer to evaluate long-term value creation. The wide frontage and generous lot open highest-and-best-use scenarios aligned with zoning. The property would also be an incredible single-family project where an owner would enjoy beautiful yard space and plenty of room to grow. Ideally located just off Bunker Hill St, the property is close to shops, parks, restaurants, MBTA & other neighborhood amenities. One of the few remaining multi-family offerings in Charlestown that combines parking, potential and scale.
