Worcester Coliving/ Multi-Family Investment Opportunity: The Thomas Brown House is a magnificent residence with exceptional scale and flexibility, offering 5,500+ sq ft, 17 rooms, 8+ bedrooms, 4 full baths, two kitchens, 5 fireplaces, a detached two-car garage, and seven off-street parking spaces. Old world charm meets modern updates. Currently used as a single-family residence and recorded as a two family, this property has already supported coliving-style use. It is well suited for an operator or investor seeking a high-capacity residential asset with strong repositioning potential and offers serious upside for buyers looking at shared housing, furnished rentals, or other residential income-generating opportunities. This is a rare chance to acquire a large-format Worcester property in a highly desirable West Side location with meaningful upside for various income-oriented housing approaches in accordance with RL-7 zoning, permitting, and buyer due diligence. This property offers significant scale, flexibility, and optionality for investors evaluating coliving, furnished housing, or other operator-led residential strategies with multiple paths to value creation. For the right buyer, the combination of size, layout, parking, and dual-kitchen creates a strong platform for repositioning in a supply-constrained submarket.
