On the market for the first time in more than 60 years, this three-family home in Coolidge Corner has only had two owners. Originally a single-family home, it now has three units with 8 bedrooms and 4.5 baths in total. It features high ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, a beautiful stone foundation, and large windows with great natural light. Livable as is, and ready for its next chapter. Perfect for a developer, a condo conversion, or an end user who can bring their own vision. It includes a detached one-car garage, a large unfinished basement, and a private rear yard. The neighborhood is secluded, having only two entrances, yet it is ideally located between the B and C Green Line branches and just a few homes away from Coolidge Park. Sold as-is.
