Are you a first-time home buyer? Are you an investor? Then read this. FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER: Get this tastefully remodeled home with little or no money down and live just a block away from the coveted Picardy Drive, a street adorned in English Tudor homes selling above a million dollars, yet you pay only a fraction of that for this fine home. What's more, you are just across the equally desirable Maxwell Park, a large, quiet subdivision built in the 1920's and 30's to cater to middle-class families. And you are also just a small walking distance from Mills College, a renowned all-female college now a part of Northeastern University. This beautiful American craftsman bungalow comes with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bath/possibly 2 in the main house and an ADU in the back. Live in the main house and rent out the ADU to a student who attends Mills College. Become an instant landlord & have the student pay a portion of your rent. INVESTOR: Why leave the equity in your home or earn a pitiful interest rate on your CD whereas you could get this 2-piece property and get cash flow from day one renting it to Mills College students, travel nurses or AirBnB/VRBO travelers? So, whether you are a first-time homebuyer or an investor, this is a delightful property to check out. It's very well priced.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
