Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to be an investor in desirable West Newton! This lovely 2-family has all the "big stuff" done: 2019 furnace, 2020 water heater, newer roof, newer stainless steel appliances, including gas stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher in both kitchens. Private entrances for each unit. Located with prime convenience to highways and commuter rail. Plenty of parking for you and/or your tenants, plus a flat yard, enclosed porches, and ample basement storage. One tenant already in place! Could be converted to single family.
Sunday Open House Cancelled! - Location, Location, Location! Don’t miss this opportunity! Nestled in a highly sought after, super quiet (yet convenient) West Newton neighborhood this two family home is an easy walk to the Franklin School, Fessenden School, Albemarle recreation area, and West Newton center. Easy access to the Mass Pike, the commuter rail, express bus to Boston, numerous local bus routes, and a short drive to the extensive selection of cuisine offered in neighboring Waltham. With a little updating this home, which has been a family home for decades, could sparkle as well as generate income! Easily converted to one family if so desired. Newer roof. Beautiful yard. Driveway with plenty of parking. Both units boast hardwood floors and separate entrances. Full, walkout, unfinished, basement with high ceilings has outstanding potential for additional living space. Delivered vacant.
