ATTENTION INVESTORS, DEVELOPERS & CONTRACTORS! Rare opportunity to own a substantial multifamily property in Dorchester with tremendous upside and endless possibilities! Featuring approximately 3,330 sq. ft., 8 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and an oversized 9,148 sq. ft. lot, this is the kind of property investors wait for. Bring your vision and transform this property into something special. Architectural plans were previously commissioned exploring the potential to expand into two triple-decker buildings, offering an exciting possibility for future development, subject to zoning and permitting approvals. The current owner has never occupied the property and has limited firsthand knowledge of its condition. This is a true value-add opportunity for those ready to roll up their sleeves and capitalize on the potential. Convenient Dorchester location near shopping, restaurants, public transportation, and major commuter routes. Opportunities like this don't come around often. BRING YOUR CONTRACTORS, BRING YOUR VISION, AND UNLOCK THE POTENTIAL!
