Based on property information with market context.

This recently vacated, now vacant brick mixed-use building includes four residential units and one large commercial unit. The property requires rehabilitation, making it a strong candidate for renovation and potential reconfiguration to better suit modern mixed-use operations.

The roof is described as providing unobstructed city views. A separate City of Boston liquor license is also listed as available for sale with the property, which may be relevant for qualified operators considering food and beverage concepts within the commercial space.
