Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This two-family home offers the feel of a single-family residence with two distinct living spaces. The front unit includes three bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a cozy fireplace. The separate one-bedroom apartment has its own private entrance, supporting flexible use for extended family, guests, or rental arrangements. Outside, the property includes a private backyard for relaxing or entertaining.

The home is conveniently located near downtown New Bedford, with nearby shopping and restaurants. It also sits close to the new South Coast Rail train station, which can support easier commuting.

The property is being sold as-is. Electricity and gas are currently off in the first unit, so interested buyers should plan for utilities to be restored and verify service conditions during due diligence. With its separate entrances and self-contained apartment configuration, the home is well suited for buyers seeking multi-generational living or an income-producing setup.
