Rare, large single family with lots of period detail available in the heart of Brighton’s Oak Square with endless potential for investors or homeowners looking to settle in this great neighborhood. Convenient location, easy access to green line and buses as well as short drive to Mass Pike, Storrow Drive and Cambridge. Within close proximity to shops and restaurants in Boston Landing, Brighton Ave and Harvard Ave. Located in 3F-4000 Zone so house could potentially be converted to multi family. With a separate sunroom and bonus room there is tons of space for the buyer to imagine how to best utilize the flexible layout. Buyer to do own due diligence. Needs a bit of cosmetic enhancements (floors + paint) to bring it back to its elegant past condition. Garage pad still in place and is zoned for garage - was never rebuilt after storm in 2015. .
