Great opportunity to own a well-maintained two-family home on a corner lot, with each unit offering 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. This property features a two-car detached garage, off-street parking, a full basement with storage, and replacement windows. Unit 2 offers energy-efficient tankless heat and hot water installed in 2015, while Unit 1 features a recent gas boiler installed in August 2026. Situated on a desirable corner lot, this home is just minutes to UMass Medical and major routes, making it a convenient option for owner-occupants, investors, or those seeking strong rental potential.
Hamilton, located between Lincoln Square and the Burncoat area, is a residential and institutional Worcester neighborhood with hillside streets and a campus-lined edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lincoln Street and Salisbury Street corridor, where corner markets, takeout counters, and small storefronts meet steady foot traffic. Triple-deckers and early-20th-century houses mix with brick academic buildings and pocket greenspaces. Worcester Polytechnic Institute frames the southern side with quads and pedestrian paths. Nearby cultural anchors such as Mechanics Hall and the Worcester Art Museum add a polished, citywide pull. Green Hill Park and its zoo bring broad lawns and weekend wandering close to home.
