About this property
Tremendous opportunity for an investor or owner-occupant to get into an affordable two-family home in Braintree. Each unit has three well-proportioned bedrooms to maximize your rental income. The first-floor unit has hardwood floors throughout. The large eat-in kitchen has newer cabinets and is complete with all the necessary appliances. The bathrooms in both units have recently been updated with new showers, vanities, and tilework. The upstairs kitchen may need some updating, but it is perfectly functional. This unit has access to a walk-up attic, which might lend itself nicely to future expansion. Each unit has its own enclosed porch, and the first-floor unit has rear deck access. There is storage galore in the large walk-out basement, and it is complete with a washer /dryer for tenant use. 200 amp service for each unit, and both the gas and electric are metered separately. A very convenient location-near the highway, MBTA Red Line, shopping, and restaurants.

Condos vs single-family
Scores run 1–100; 50 is typical. Prices are placed among Braintree MLS PIN closed sales of the same year, so an older sale is judged against the prices of its own time. A past or asking price only: we don't estimate what any home is worth. Scores describe how the market behaves, not the home or its neighbors.
