A well-maintained three-family in East Boston’s Eagle Hill — cared for by the same ownership for years and ready for its next chapter. Each unit features an open floor plan, hardwood floors, full bath, and a kitchen with ample cabinet space and breakfast bar. Updates throughout ownership include renovated bathroom vanities, modern light fixtures, Nest thermostats, stainless steel appliances, and electronic door locks in all units. Two of three water heaters replaced. A brand new rear deck (~$80K) added within the last two years. One unit vacant and move-in ready — ideal for an owner-occupant looking to live in one and rent the others. Two additional units with leases through July 31, 2026. Basement offers additional expansion potential. A strong candidate for condo conversion with real upside for the savvy buyer. Close to public transit, highway access, and everything East Boston has to offer.
