Welcome to this stunning two-family Victorian, a rare opportunity nestled in the highly desirable Historic Townsend Street District of Roxbury.

Subject to zoning, permitting, and applicable building requirements, the space may offer an opportunity for an additional dwelling unit (ADU) or other expansion possibilities.Ideally located just minutes from Northeastern University, Boston University Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston Latin Academy, Boston Medical Center, and the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, this property offers convenient access to some of Boston’s most prominent educational, medical, and employment centers.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
