About this home

Rarely available & lovingly owned by the same family for generations, this exceptionally maintained 4-family property presents a unique opportunity in the heart of Boston’s historic North End. Strong investment with substantial value-add potential. Pro forma rental income at current market rates is projected at over $140K annually. 2 of the 4 units are currently occupied by family members without leases & are significantly below market rent. The remaining 2 units are also below market value with leases in place through 8/31/26. Property features an extraordinary duplex-style layout with finished lower level, private patio access, & in-unit laundry. 1 of the units has long functioned as a 2-bedroom. Major property improvements include roof in 2023 & hot water tank in 2024. Potential future roof deck opportunity. A rare chance to own a generational asset in one of Boston’s most iconic & sought-after neighborhoods, surrounded by renowned restaurants, cafes, waterfront, downtown & the "T".
