There is a unique opportunity in town to buy one of the most alluring two family properties we have in Concord Center. This property is currently being offered as either individual condominiums or as the entire building. The family that is offering this unique opportunity originally purchased the rear condominium unit (32 Thoreau Street) to enjoy and live in as they were looking for a home that would meet their needs after selling a rather large home in Concord. At a later date they had the opportunity to purchase the other unit (34 Thoreau Street) and jumped on it quickly. The idea of owning the whole building was very exciting as the location is absolutely spectacular. For the past several years both condominiums have served as rental properties that generate consistent income at market rate rents with very little vacancy. You should know that each unit is renovated with stunning spaces that showcase different design theories. With an honest in-town feel, you can see from the photos the house is absolutely charming plus features a slate roof. Experienced independently through separate private entrances, each two bedroom unit features a different floor plan. 32 Thoreau has a more modern feel with dark floors and a wide open floor plan. This comes as a surprise due to the historic nature of the exterior. It would not lead you to believe that such a contemporary interior could be had. 34 Thoreau could not be more classic in how it was finished. Also offering an open floor plan and boasting hardwood floors, there are separate spaces to enjoy and a more vintage overall aesthetic. A traditional design theory was applied here.
I can tell you firsthand that this is an amazing location and that the individual condominiums are lovely. I actually rented 32 Thoreau Street at one point in my life. What an amazing place to live! Many years ago when I opened up my firm I needed a place to live that was close to the office. I was working around the clock, grinding as you could imagine. For those of you that have started an entrepreneurial endeavor or been involved in a start-up then you may know what I am talking about. It was an intense moment in my life as I had just left my previous firm and I had to create everything from logos to securing for sale signs. Marketing and business strategies needed my attention as I was mission driven and aspired to create the most advanced firm in town. My guiding principles needed clarity and thought. I needed to manage and be involved in every decision. I had and have a terrific team, but when I was just starting out I was working from early morning to 2am regularly. The opportunity arose to rent 32 Thoreau from my client. I had helped them purchase it as a buyers agent and just loved the place from minute one. Both units have amazing screen porches and offer enormous privacy. I must share that Zen and Associates designed a dipping pool in 32 Thoreau that is absolutely divine. They used natural boulders to create it and it is no bigger than a small hot tub. I paid for it to be heated in the winter and it served as an escape like no other. The way Zen designed this makes you feel like you are in the middle of Colorado in a natural spring. It is an amazing experience because it feels like it exists naturally. There is a small waterfall off of a boulder that sits adjacent to the plunge area and it offers natural boulder seating when inside the water. That plunge pool was a saving grace that first year and it offered me peace and tranquility and a place to ponder. It felt like I had traveled somewhere even though I was right there on Thoreau Street just steps away from everything Concord Center has to offer. Steps away from my new office.
The interiors of both units are civilized to say the least and offer gas fireplaces and nice entertaining spaces. The kitchens are very functional and every other aspect of either unit would be satisfactory to most buyers who have lived in much larger homes. Although no garage exists currently I imagine a large garage could be built on the lot. There is a lot of good going on here and if you are looking for a multifamily investment or an individual condominium in the center of it all then you should not miss the opportunity to walk through and investigate these two lovely condominiums. If it is the investment you are after and the whole building is of interest it is nice to know that the units are independent condominiums and can be sold separately or together.
This offering is on a first come, first serve basis so if a unit is sold as a condominium then the multi family opportunity disappears. Please make an appointment sooner rather than later if the idea of owning the whole building appeals to you.
Currently being offered at $2,390,000 for the entire property or $1,195,000 per unit. Pick a side or purchase both! A rare opportunity indeed.
