For Sale - Active
2 Units

Fully renovated just 7 years ago, this well-maintained two-family home on the Methuen line offers exceptional versatility for owner-occupants or investors. Both the first and second floors feature 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath, with bright, inviting living spaces, hardwood-style flooring, and abundant natural light. The main unit’s kitchen is updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinetry, while the upper unit offers the same bedroom and bath count in a slightly more compact layout with a well-appointed kitchenette ideal for rental income, extended family, or guests. The finished third level provides additional in-law–style living space, perfect for a home office, guest suite, or recreation area. Separate utilities offer convenience and privacy, and the fenced backyard with off-street parking enhances the property’s appeal. Located close to shopping, dining, schools, and major commuter routes, this turnkey property is a smart and flexible investment.
