About this home
Opportunity awaits at 59 Farrar Avenue! Situated on an expansive 11,417-square-foot lot, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for investors, builders, and buyers seeking a substantial parcel of land within the City of Boston. The generous lot size and established residential neighborhood are the property's most attractive features, offering possibilities for future use, subject to zoning and municipal approvals. The property is being marketed primarily for its land value and includes an existing single-family residence containing approximately 1,065 square feet of living area, which has sustained significant fire damage and requires extensive rehabilitation or possible demolition. Originally constructed in 1950, the property also includes a one-car garage. Being sold strictly AS-IS, this offering presents an opportunity for buyers looking to capitalize on the location, lot size, and long-term potential of this Boston property.
