A kitchen you’ll want to cook in, a primary suite with its own bath and walk-in closet, and rental income to help with the mortgage. This Peabody two-family gives you compelling reasons to think beyond a single-family home. The second floor brings together the features that make everyday living more comfortable. The updated kitchen has white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, and an island with seating, so whoever’s cooking doesn’t have to miss the conversation. Hardwood floors, wide hallways, and a bay-window living room give the home a spacious, welcoming feel. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms include a primary suite with a double vanity and walk-in closet. There’s room to gather, room to retreat, and a covered front porch when you want to take your coffee outside.

The first-floor apartment offers two bedrooms, a generous living room with bay windows, and an eat-in kitchen. Keep it as an income-producing rental while planning your own move upstairs, or consider the entire property as an addition to your investment portfolio. Renovations completed in 2017–2018, central air, in-unit laundry, and off-street parking for approximately six vehicles add everyday convenience. If you’ve been searching for a multifamily where the space you call home feels just as important as the income it can generate, put 131 Lynnfield Street on your list.
