About this home

Welcome to 113 Dakota Street, a spacious and income-generating property located on a quiet residential street in the heart of Dorchester. Currently rented by the bedroom, this home has been adapted to maximize rental income-with both the living room and dining room converted into additional bedrooms. However, the layout offers flexibility, and the seller is open to converting those spaces back to their original use, making this property ideal for both investors and owner-occupants. The home features hardwood floors, generous room sizes, and plenty of natural light throughout. Whether you're looking to continue its use as a high-yield rental or restore it to a more traditional single-family layout, this property offers excellent potential. Conveniently located near public transportation, parks, and the shops and restaurants of Ashmont and Lower Mills, 113 Dakota Street is a smart investment in one of Dorchester's most dynamic neighborhoods.

AI comment

This is a flexible Victorian single-family with clear appeal for investors due to its current bedroom-by-bedroom rental setup. It may also work for an owner-occupant, but the current layout appears optimized for income rather than traditional living space. The seller’s stated willingness to convert the living and dining rooms back adds useful optionality. Buyers should verify zoning, rental compliance, and the true functional bedroom count before relying on the income strategy.

PROS
- Current rental-by-bedroom setup may support strong income potential.
- Flexible layout could be restored to a more traditional single-family configuration.
- Large 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath profile provides substantial interior capacity.
- Hardwood floors, generous room sizes, and natural light are noted in the listing.
- Convenient location near public transportation, parks, Ashmont, and Lower Mills amenities.

CONS
- Living room and dining room have been converted into bedrooms, reducing traditional common living space.
- Rental use and bedroom-by-bedroom occupancy should be reviewed for zoning, permitting, and code compliance.
- No garage spaces are listed, and parking information is not provided.
- Built in 1910, so buyers should carefully inspect major systems and overall condition.
- Lot size data appears inconsistent and should be verified.
