About This Home
While this home would be perfect for a young family working downtown, with it's proximity to the airport, blue line, & Constitution beach, it is also the perfect location for an air bnb -- whether it be flight crew housing, travelers looking for a place to drop their bags during a long layover, or vacationing families. Rent the 3 bedrooms individually or the house as whole to create passive income. Plus you'll never have to worry about where to park when you're headed to Logan! It features a renovated island kitchen w/pantry, formal dining, separate office, spacious living room w/wood burning fireplace. Gutted to the studs, it has all new electrical & plumbing, but so much original charm & detail remains. This house has the best of both worlds, combining a peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood with big city convenience. Large fenced-in yard great for planting, partying, & play, & as needed, off-street parking. Between Wood Island & Orient Heights, so downtown commutes are a breeze!
