Location! Location! Offered for the first time in 30 years, this charming Victorian-style 2-family home is situated in a prime Malden Center location just a few blocks away from the MBTA Station, vibrant local dining, and shopping. Perfect for commuters, this property blends classic character with modern upgrades and clear potential for value creation. High ceilings and architectural details flow throughout both units. Unit 2 features comfortable living space, energy-efficient replacement windows (2022), and an expansive primary suite, while Unit 1 provides a functional layout ready for cosmetic updates. Major capital improvements serving both units include a brand-new gas heating system and hot water tank (2024), alongside a roof replacement (2018). The finished lower level includes two bonus rooms, a full bath, and a separate entrance—offering ideal ADU potential (buyer to perform due diligence). Complete with a detached 2-car garage and an expansive paved driveway for ample off-street parking, this home represents rare long-term pride of ownership just steps from everything Malden Center has to offer.
