About this home

Rare opportunity to own a turnkey 3-family in a strong Dorchester location near Talbot Ave commuter rail. The property has undergone extensive renovations and system updates within the last 10 years, including major electrical, plumbing, heating, and interior improvements, with select kitchens and bathrooms renovated within the last year. Deleaded units with compliance documentation available. The layout offers spacious units, including a first-floor unit with additional finished lower-level space and separate entrance, a large second-floor unit, and a top-floor unit featuring a primary suite. Additional features include updated systems, off-street parking, strong commuter access to downtown Boston, and architectural shingles replaced approximately 7 years ago on the pitched portion of the roof. Property will be delivered vacant, offering a strong opportunity for market-rate lease-up and stabilization.
