About this home
NO HOA!!! Just over the Tobin sits this classic brick 2-family offering 2,112 SF across 4 levels, one rented unit and one vacant unit. For an owner-occupant, the numbers actually work—move into the vacant unit and let Unit 1’s $2,350/month rent help offset the mortgage. Unit 1: rented at $2,350/mo, 2BR/1BA over 2 levels with hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, storage and direct access to a private fenced backyard. Unit 2: vacant and move-in ready, 2Bd/1Ba across 3 levels with SOARING CEILINGS, oversized windows, UPDATED kitchen, amd NEW APPLIANCES. Major improvements include NEWER ROOF, heating systems & WATER HEATERS, plus electrical, masonry, railing, fascia/flashing and flooring updates. Separate utilities. John Ruiz Park across the street; Mystic Mall puts Market Basket, Home Goods and TJ Maxx within easy reach, while local favorites Chelsea Station Restaurant Bar & Lounge, Ciao! Pizza & Pasta &Katz Bagel Bakery all nearby. Craving steak tips? New Bridge Café just down the street. 111 bus service outside the front door that goes to Haymarket & Government Center. Chelsea MBTA Commuter Rail nearby. Bellingham Square T stop and the SL3 offer direct service to South Station, with continued public investment reshaping the Broadway corridor. Boston access without the Boston price tag—and plenty of Chelsea flavor along the way.
Broadway, located between Chelsea Square and the Mystic River waterfront, is a historic and commercial Chelsea neighborhood with a classic main-street corridor and a dense mix of civic landmarks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Broadway at Everett Avenue, where taquerias, bakeries, barbershops, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks in motion. Brick rowhouses and older mixed-use blocks frame the streetwall, with pocket parks and municipal buildings breaking up the grid. The Chelsea Clock Company building and the Strand Theatre act as cultural anchors along the corridor. Mary O’Malley Park adds river views and a breezy walking loop at the edge of the neighborhood.
