Subject to zoning, permitting, and applicable building requirements, the space may offer an opportunity for an additional dwelling unit (ADU) or other expansion possibilities.Ideally located just minutes from Northeastern University, Boston University Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston Latin Academy, Boston Medical Center, and the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, this property offers convenient access to some of Boston's most prominent educational, medical, and employment centers.
