About this home
Well loved 2 Family Home in the heart of Brighton. This home has never been rented and has been owned by the same family for 3 generations. Rents range from $2,000- $2500 in the area. Pride of ownership shines throughout this home and is ready for its new owners to add their own personal touches. Meticulously maintained, this home has all of the big ticket items replaced; 2021 NEW Hot Water Tanks; 2014 New Roof; 2013 New Windows: 2014 New Gas furnaces; Renovated 2nd floor kitchen in 2007 and added New Stove and Refrigerator in 2019. Reeds Ferry Shed was added to the beautiful fenced in back yard in 2005. This home also has a Driveway, for 3 tandem cars, which is a rare asset in the city. Move in and do nothing for years, except adding some cosmetic touches of personal taste. This home is a great for anyone wanting to stay within the city limits, or an investment property as it is close to the MBTA, many colleges and universities; hospitals, and so much more.
