This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a three-family residential building in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood, ideally suited for either an investor or an owner-occupant. One unit can be delivered vacant, so an owner-user can move in while collecting rental income from the remaining units, or re-lease at market rents. Two of the units have been fully renovated and the third partially renovated, all with very nice finishes throughout. Unit 1 has a central HVAC system and the other two units have ductless mini-split systems, providing efficient heating and cooling across the building. The property is just steps from Cambridge Street and Massachusetts General Hospital, one of the region's largest employers, and a short walk to both the Red Line (Charles/MGH) and Green Line (Government Center) MBTA stations, giving residents easy access to downtown, Cambridge, and the greater Boston area. A deep employer base nearby, including MGH, the State House, Government Center, and the Financial District, supports consistent rental demand, and residents also have the shops, restaurants, and amenities of Charles Street and the West End close by. With its flexible occupancy, updated systems, and quality finishes, this property is a compelling opportunity in one of Boston's most desirable and supply-constrained submarkets.
