Exceptional Back Bay investment opportunity with rare lodging house license for short and long-term rentals. Prime location on sunny corner of desirable Hereford Street, close to Boston's top dining, shopping, colleges, medical areas, and cultural venues. This elegant, 5,520SF building offers 9 beautifully appointed units (4 one-bedrooms and 5 studios). Four units have renovated kitchens and bathrooms; the others offer updated finishes. Features include central A/C, sprinkler system, original architectural details, dramatic bay windows, and charming street views. A private rear garden offers outdoor serenity, and a spiral staircase leads to the roof with potential for a future deck (permits required). With lodging house licenses no longer issued in Back Bay, this is a unique opportunity in one of Boston's most desirable neighborhoods. The units have great appeal to visiting doctors, nurses, patients, college professors and other professionals on short, or long, assignments to Boston.
