Single-family home on a quiet dead-end street in Allston, set beside a neighborhood playground and minutes from Harvard, Cambridge, Boston University and the Longwood Medical Area. Architectural plans for a two-family conversion have been drawn and are available to a buyer. The property is zoned R1 and no zoning relief has been applied for or granted; any two-family use would require approval from the City of Boston. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding zoning, permitting and feasibility. Private driveway parking. Walk to Trader Joe's, restaurants and cafes, with quick access to the Mass Pike, Storrow Drive and public transportation into downtown Boston. A rare opportunity in one of Boston's most in-demand neighborhoods.
