A rare opportunity to own a three-family in West Roxbury, this property offers solid potential with plenty of room for rental growth. Directly across from the Joyce Kilmer School, with nearby bus service and convenient connections to the T and downtown Boston, the location puts Centre Street’s shops and restaurants, as well as Millennium Park’s trails and outdoor recreation, within reach. The recently renovated third-floor one-bedroom apartment features refinished hardwood floors, a fresh kitchen with white shaker cabinets, and bright, airy rooms. Currently vacant, it’s ready for an owner-occupant looking to offset housing costs or an investor seeking additional income. The two lower two-bedroom apartments retain the character of a classic West Roxbury home, with traditional woodwork, hardwood floors, wide cased openings, and sun-filled living and dining rooms. With a strong rental history, the property offers upside potential to bring income more in line with the current local market over time. Both existing leases end March 31, giving the new owner immediate flexibility to adjust rents to market rates, renew with current tenants, or explore new tenancies. A three-car garage, cleaned out and ready to use, is a standout feature for a city multifamily. The basement offers space for tenant laundry, while a front porch, rear porches for the first and second floor units, and a second-floor balcony add to the home’s appeal. Showings by appointment.
Upper Washington-Spring Street, located between Downtown Crossing and Chinatown, is a historic and commercial Boston neighborhood with a dense streetscape and a transit-rich core. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Washington Street and Essex Street corner, where neon-lit theaters, late-night eateries, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks in motion. Pillar venues include Emerson Colonial Theatre, the Paramount Theatre, and the historic Opera House. Brick-and-stone midrises mix with restored facades and newer residential towers, creating a layered skyline at street level. Side streets shift quickly from retail corridors to quieter blocks with pocket plazas and hotel lobbies. The Orange and Red Line stations stitch the area into the city’s daily rhythm.
