About this home

Fantastic opportunity to own a THREE FAMILY home in a great location of West Malden. Each two bedroom unit offers an excellent open floor plan with hardwood floors, back porches and washer/dryer hook up. Pictures available are of the third floor unit, which is the most photogenic! Despite being a solid home at an excellent buy, this property and all three units including porches are in somewhat of disrepair with utilities, roof and windows possibly at end of life; however each unit is currently renting for $1200/mo with month to month renters. Close proximity to buses and MBTA, parks and Fellsmere Pond.
