About this home
Great opportunity for investors or owner-occupants alike! This vacant two-family property offers two 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, each featuring its own in-unit laundry. Recent improvements include ductless mini-split systems, on demand hot water tanks along with cosmetic updates, including the removal of wood paneling and fresh paint, creating a refreshed feel throughout. Additional highlights include ample off-street driveway parking and a garage offering valuable extra storage space. With both units vacant and ready for occupancy, this property presents an excellent opportunity to establish new tenancies or explore owner-occupied living. Conveniently located in Worcester with access to shopping, public transportation, and major routes. Don't miss the potential this two-family property has to offer!
Franklin Plantation, located between Lake Quinsigamond and Shrewsbury Street, is a residential and lakeside Worcester neighborhood with wooded slopes and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Shrewsbury Street corridor near Lake Ave, where sidewalk patios, independent eateries, and late-night dessert counters set a steady hum. The BrickBox Theater and the Worcester Art Museum add a cultural throughline beyond the water. Triple Decker Coffee Roasters grounds the day-to-day with small-batch coffee and a workshop feel. Housing reads as a mix of mid-century apartment communities and classic Worcester multifamily streets, with tree cover softening the edges. Lake paths and nearby greenspaces shape a routine built around walks, runs, and shoreline views.
