    What's special

    Peaceful yard and deckPrivate entrancesSeparate living spacesTwo full kitchens
    Designed with the feel of a traditional two-family, this unique condominium at 21 Francis offers exceptional flexibility with private entrances, two full kitchens—one on each level—and fully separate living spaces and utilities. It lives like two distinct units, making it an excellent option for multigenerational living, rental income, or use as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). You’ll enjoy exclusive use of the peaceful yard and deck—your own private outdoor retreat for relaxing or entertaining. The only shared element with the adjacent residence is the master insurance policy, giving you maximum privacy and autonomy. Located in a highly desirable Newton neighborhood with top-rated schools and easy access to Boston and Cambridge, this updated property is also a smart option for investors—including those seeking a 1031 exchange. Whether you occupy one level or both, 21 Francis offers a rare combination of versatility, location, and value.
