About This Home
As of April 2021PRICE REDUCED!! Great INVESTMENT opportunity! This house is currently divided into three separate apartments. They can be rented as longterm apartments or nightly rentals on airbnb/vrbo.com (already set-up for this). Owner also has website already set up as well. If owner-occupied, one could basically live here for free while renting out the other units! This house could also be converted back into one larger home. As a whole, there are 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. There are many beautiful architectural elements including beautiful woodwork, fireplaces, transoms and French doors. The exterior of the house was recently painted with new exterior stairs to the second floor apartment. The boiler and electrical panels are also newer. Lots of off-street parking! Newer metal roof! Great location with only two blocks to downtown Elkader!
