About this home

BACK ON THE MARKET DUE TO BUYER FINANCING - GREAT SECOND CHANCE OPPORTUNITY! Massive Two Family Home in East Boston's Orient Heights available for the first time in generations. Owned by the same family for decades, this home offers several levels of living in an ultra-convenient location. Unit 1 offers two levels of living with three bedrooms and one bath, while Unit 2 boasts a large eat-in kitchen and expansive living area and two bedrooms/one bath. There is also additional living area on the ground floor level and third floor walk-up (kitchenette and bath), both with private access. Needs TLC, but the space available allows for plenty of possibilities. Great redevelopment opportunity, investment or owner-occupancy. Spacious outdoor patio and tiered backyard.
