About this home
Built in 2009, this free-standing three-family on the East Side is being offered for the first time. Unit 1 has an open-concept layout kitchen, dining and living 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a family room, a laundry closet and direct garage access. Units 2 and 3 also have a generous open concept layout kitchen living dining each with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a laundry closet. Decks, a large yard and rare drive-in parking add to the appeal. The home offers 3,834 sq ft of living space on a 3,125 sq ft lot.The location is hard to beat: a 3-minute walk to Independence Park, 5 minutes to the beach, and a short stroll to Castle Island, with all bus lines one block away. Shopping, dining and amenities are within walking distance, and the Seaport, the Pike and the highway are easy to reach.Currently under-rented, the property will be delivered vacant and as-is at closing, making it a great choice for an owner-occupant or an investor. A newer build, a true free-standing structure and a convenient location in City Point
