Attention investors, developers, and house-hackers: Rare East Somerville value-add multi-family delivered 100% vacant! This is a standout opportunity in one of Greater Boston's highest-demand real estate markets. Located at 17 Rush Street, this traditional two-family home features nearly 2,100 sq ft of living space across three flexible levels. Offered fully vacant at closing, this property represents a clean slate ready for an ambitious owner-occupant, condo-conversion developer, or long-term buy-and-hold investor looking to build immediate sweat equity. [PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS & CHARACTER] The building retains high-value architectural details that serve as an incredible foundation for a modern overhaul, including high ceilings, deep bay window nooks, abundant natural light, original hardwood floors, ceiling medallions, wide classic casing, and flexible front-to-back floor plans.
