Unit 23 Francis Street is ready to be seen—and it lives like a single-family home! 21 Francis is a renovated turnkey home offering a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated property w/true flexibility in Newton Centre. Configured like a traditional two-family, this attached residence features two full kitchens—one on the first floor & one on the second—along w/living areas on both levels, private entrances, and fully separated utilities. It’s an ideal setup for multigenerational living, rental income, or use as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). You'll enjoy full private use of the peaceful yard and deck—your own outdoor retreat perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The only shared element with the neighboring home is the master insurance policy, allowing for maximum autonomy and privacy. Whether you occupy the entire home or leverage part of it to offset costs, this thoughtfully renovated property offers a smart, flexible way to live in one of Newton’s most sought-after locations
