Offered for the first time in many, many years, this two-family home has been lovingly held by the same family for generations and is now ready for its next chapter. Set on a corner lot at Commercial Street and Drew Avenue in East Weymouth, it is a rare chance for an owner-occupant, investor, or extended family to get into one of the South Shore’s most convenient neighborhoods. With 12 rooms, 7 bedrooms, and 2 full and 2 half baths across approximately 2,488 square feet, the home offers generous space in both units. Unit 1 has 7 rooms with 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, and Unit 2 has 6 rooms with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Each unit spans two levels and has its own living room, dining room, and kitchen, plus its own address (1138 Commercial Street and 1 Drew Avenue). Wood floors, separate electric and water, a 2017 gas furnace, and a full basement with interior access add value and room for storage. Off-street parking for two on a paved driveway completes the package.The home needs updating, which is exactly where the opportunity lies. Bring your vision and your finishes to build equity, live in one unit while the other helps with the mortgage, or create comfortable side-by-side living for extended family. A two-family at this size, in this location, with this much potential does not come along often.The location is hard to beat. Stroll to the village shops, restaurants, and services of Jackson Square, Weymouth’s largest village center, and enjoy the annual herring run along the Back River. The MBTA 222 bus runs along Commercial Street, and the East Weymouth commuter rail stop on the Greenbush Line offers an easy ride into Boston. The local elementary school, the Franklin Pratt Library, Herring Run Pool Park, Iron Hill Park, and Whitman’s Pond are all close by. Head toward the water to explore Great Esker Park’s 6 miles of trails along the Back River, Wessagusset and George Lane beaches, and the harbor views at Webb Memorial State Park. Routes 3A, 3, and 18 are within easy reach for commuting and shopping. Homes like this one rarely change hands. Come see it for yourself and imagine what it can become.
