6 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 73579540 MLS

Built in 1925 and still carrying its age well, this classic two-family home offers 2,316 square feet, split evenly between two nearly identical units. Each side has three bedrooms and a full bath. There is a full basement with a fieldstone foundation and natural gas hot water. A walk-up attic adds extra storage space above the second floor. The recent work here has been deliberate, not cosmetic. 2023 brought a new roof, new heat and central air on the second floor, waterproofed basement walls, a renovated first-floor bathroom, refinished hardwood floors, and new appliances, including a washer and dryer. New gas meters followed in 2026. For whoever moves in next, that's a long list of near-term repairs already crossed off. Outside, a paved driveway holds two off-street vehicles, and a deck offers straightforward outdoor space on a compact city lot. The neighborhood carries its own weight. Five elementary schools and Greater New Bedford Voc-Tech are close by, Brooklawn Park's 85 acres sit right in the North End, and the new South Coast Rail stations at Church Street and Acushnet Avenue put a direct, roughly 90-minute commuter line to Boston within easy reach. It's a genuine differentiator at this price point. Move into one unit and let the second help offset the mortgage, or hold it as a two-tenant investment with the major systems already refreshed. Either way, the groundwork here is already done.
