Can be delivered vacant. Well maintained. Major upgrades to plumbing, electric, and mechanicals. Each unit offers 1,100+ SF with a living room, dining room, 2 bedrooms, and hardwood floors throughout both living areas. A full ~1,000 SF unfinished attic creates a clear path to townhouse-style expansion for the upstairs unit. When not in use by the family over the years, the home has a strong rental history and both units are currently rented. Separate gas, electric, and utilities with a coin-op laundry in the basement. The house rear has upper and lower private deck areas, which overlook the backyard area. Easy access to RT 16 + RT 2, close to Davis Square, Whole Foods, Dilboy Field, the Alewife bike path, Tufts and other university amenities. Great potential for both owner-occupants and investors. Due to length of ownership, hard-drive of all maintenance and updates completed available
