LOCATION!!! Exceptional multifamily opportunity in the heart of South Boston! Just one block from East Broadway, this well-positioned 3-unit building sits prominently on the corner of I Street and East 3rd. A true turnkey asset with immediate upside—Rents under market and simple updates can polish these units. The basement offers untapped potential for additional livable space, and the building features a full walk-up staircase to a flat roof with breathtaking city and water views—a future roof deck, perhaps? Unit 1: Vacant 2-bedroom / Unit 2: Currently configured as a 2-bedroom + office / Unit 3: Used as a 1-bedroom + office/gym but easily converted back to 2 or 3 bed. This is an ideal setup for an owner-occupant to live in Unit 1 and rent out units 2 and 3 as spacious 3-bed apartments with minimal effort. Whether you're looking to hold as a rental asset or explore condo conversion, this property delivers exceptional value in one of Boston's most sought after neighborhoods.
