About This Home
Significant price reduction!! Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to own a beautifully landscaped triplex located just a few blocks to downtown Covina. Highly desirable layout with a 1,662 sf single-family Craftsman style front house (built new in 2002), which is completely detached from the two, 1 bedroom, 1 bath back units (253 & 255 Center), each approx 624sf, built in 1956. The front house features 4 bedrooms and 3 FULL bathrooms, with 1 bed & bath downstairs, perfect for guest quarters or mother-in-law suite. There is a two car attached garage, central air/heat, laundry room, tankless water heater, high ceilings with fire sprinklers, front porch and large private backyard! The back apartments each have an indoor laundry room, hardwood flooring, front awnings, their own garages (with access from the alley) and a shared front and backyard. The gorgeous topiary landscaping makes you feel like you're tucked away on a private estate, yet you're just a few blocks from downtown Covina shopping and restaurants and only 1 mile to the 10 freeway and Eastland shopping center! This triplex has been lovingly maintained and upgraded throughout the years. Recent upgrades include full exterior painting, new concrete in back parking area and walkway, and new roof installed on back units and garages. This property has a perfect layout for anyone who wants to live in the front house and rent the back, as they feel like two separate properties. Or, is also an amazing investment opportunity with in demand units with high rent potential. Per city of Covina planning, the back garages can be converted into an ADU for additional rental income!
