A Roslindale two-family with a built-in advantage: a home for you and a second unit that helps carry it. Each unit runs a smart, flexible plan, with an updated kitchen and a convenient half bath, a formal dining area and living room, and a sunroom off the living space that works as a home office or exercise room. A central hallway connects the bedrooms and full bath, with a bedroom anchoring the rear. The upper unit adds a bonus room, ideal as a third bedroom or study. Both units are clean, bright, and well kept, with thoughtful updates throughout. Outside, a sizeable yard offers room to garden, gather, or expand down the road. Off-street parking behind the buildings for two to three cars, plus convenient on-street parking. Recent improvements include fresh exterior paint, a sealed and repointed foundation, masonry front steps, and a roof under 10 years old. Close by: Roslindale Village, the commuter rail, and green space at Bellevue Hill, Stony Brook Reservation, and Turtle Pond.
