About This Home

As of April 2025

This 3-unit property presents a fantastic opportunity for investors seeking immediate income potential and long-term growth. Two of the three units are currently vacant, offering the chance to hand-pick tenants and maximize rental income. One of the vacant units does need a remodel. The other two units are rent-ready and awaiting occupants. This property has undergone a significant upgrade, converting from oil to gas and featuring brand new, high-efficiency boilers. This ensures lower operating costs and increased tenant appeal.
