About This Home

As of December 2020

Start making money day one with this well-kept Wilson School District 3-Unit apartment building. There are two - 1 Bedroom units downstairs both with long term tenants (14 years & 6 years) and both at the beginning of a one-year lease. Upstairs is a newly renovated 2-bedroom unit with air conditioning that is perfect for an owner-occupied unit or rentable for additional income. The hidden gem of this property is the SIX detached garage spots in the back of the house. The large three-bay garage has most recently been used as a shop and features 11-foot-high ceilings, gas heat and an air conditioning unit. Would be a great space to rent as a shop or for large vehicle storage. Additionally, there are three singe bay garages all with electricity which would be perfect for someone looking for off-street parking or motorcycle storage/workshop. The basement has a washer and dryer hook-up and is also additional storage. There is a half-bathroom in the basement which can be useful for non-residents who would might be working in the garages. This home has been a great income producing property with the same owner since 1987. Come see this one today and start making money now.
