About this home
Attention investors, developers, and house-hackers: Rare East Somerville value-add multi-family delivered 100% vacant! This is a standout opportunity in one of Greater Boston's highest-demand real estate markets. Located at 17 Rush Street, this traditional two-family home features nearly 2,100 sq ft of living space across three flexible levels. Offered fully vacant at closing, this property represents a clean slate ready for an ambitious owner-occupant, condo-conversion developer, or long-term buy-and-hold investor looking to build immediate sweat equity. [PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS & CHARACTER] The building retains high-value architectural details that serve as an incredible foundation for a modern overhaul, including high ceilings, deep bay window nooks, abundant natural light, original hardwood floors, ceiling medallions, wide classic casing, elegant pocket doors, and flexible front-to-back floor plans. [CURRENT LAYOUT CONFIGURATION] Unit 1 (First Floor) features a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom footprint with a large formal living room or dining space, eat-in kitchen area, and private rear entry. Unit 2 (Second and Third Floors) spans two levels offering 3-4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, expansive living or dining spaces, an oversized kitchen, plus walk-in storage and closet areas on the top floor. (Note: Public record lists property as 5 bed / 2 bath; buyer to verify all potential layout configurations and room counts). [LOCATION & AMENITIES] Commuters and future tenants will love the convenience of rare off-street driveway parking included with the property. Enjoy rapid access to the MBTA East Somerville Green Line Extension and Sullivan Square Orange Line, along with close proximity to Assembly Row, Union Square, Broadway dining and retail, I-93, Cambridge, and downtown Boston. Bring your general contractor, architect, and design vision. Opportunities like this in East Somerville are exceedingly rare.
