Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This former church retail space offers a spacious main layout suitable for a variety of neighborhood-serving businesses. A separate room provides flexibility for a private office or workspace, and the unit includes a generously sized bathroom and a kitchen area. The property also features a basement level that can serve as storage, supporting day-to-day operations and inventory needs.

Designated parking is available for owners at the rear of the building, with room for two or more cars. The asset is positioned in a South Shore community where redevelopment is underway, and it is identified as only three miles from the future home of the Obama Center.

The combination of a large open area, an enclosed office room, and on-site storage makes this property a practical fit for tenants looking for a turnkey interior footprint rather than starting from scratch. For buyers, the building’s existing rooming and rear parking support straightforward planning for business use and day-to-day access, while the basement provides additional space to keep operational materials organized.

Key Highlights

  • Year Built 1919 retail space, formerly a church
  • Separate room that can be used as an office
