About this home

Welcome to 196 Poplar Street in bustling Downtown Chelsea. This classic Victorian triple decker features three nicely sized units, each with two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and off-street parking. Two of the units are currently leased at market value with TAW agreement (available on request) and unit #2 is newly renovated and vacant. Sited just outside Fay Square, Poplar has fabulous access to the Silverline MBTA network, as well as Chelsea City Hall and the Chelsea Public Library. For commuters, access to major highways is a breeze. This is a fabulous portfolio investment property, or an owner-occupied house-hack situation. Our rental team suggests a market rent for unit 2 to be approximately $2200/month.
