Rarely does a two-family home offer this combination of space, light, privacy, and flexibility. Beautifully renovated just two years ago, this expansive Brighton property provides an exceptional opportunity for a family seeking a generous primary residence with additional rental income, multigenerational living, or simply the flexibility to accommodate changing needs over time. The primary residence features a sun-filled open kitchen, dining, and living area with high ceilings and large windows. A spacious kitchen island provides the perfect gathering place for family and friends, while a private deck overlooking a wooded setting offers a peaceful outdoor retreat. Three bedrooms and a full bathroom complete this level. Upstairs, the oversized primary bedroom offers a true retreat, with an exceptionally large walk-in closet/dressing room and en-suite bathroom. An additional bedroom and full bathroom provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. In-unit laundry and dedicated parking add everyday convenience. The second residence offers tremendous flexibility, with an open kitchen and living area featuring high ceilings and large windows, three bedrooms, and a full bathroom on the main level. A lovely patio overlooking a wooded area extends the living space outdoors. The lower level offers a comfortable TV/recreation area, three additional bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, along with a dedicated laundry room, cable and parking. With six bedrooms and three bathrooms, this residence is ideally suited for a larger household or rental use. Together, the property offers twelve bedrooms, six bathrooms, two kitchens, multiple living and entertaining spaces, private outdoor areas, laundry, and parking—an extraordinary amount of space and flexibility. Conveniently located near public transportation, major highways, restaurants, BC, Harvard, BU, Logan Airport and neighborhood amenities, this distinctive two-family home offers an opportunity to live comfortably while creating additional income or accommodating extended family. Live in one residence and rent the other, create a multigenerational home, or enjoy the flexibility of having space for family, guests, and future needs. This is a rare opportunity to own a two-family home with possibilities rarely found in one property.

Oak Square, located between Brighton Center and Newton Corner, is a residential and commercial Boston neighborhood with a busy crossroads and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Washington Street and Faneuil Street junction, where corner pubs, longtime bakeries, and small service storefronts line the sidewalks. Triple-deckers and compact apartment blocks mix with detached houses on leafy side streets. Rogers Park and the Charles River paths shape daily routines with courts, fields, and riverfront loops. The Massachusetts Turnpike edge and nearby commuter routes give the area a distinctly in-motion feel.
