21 James Street is a large 3-family in New Bedford's West End, on the corner of Maple St. & James St. A few blocks from Buttonwood park and Downtown NB. This beautiful home exudes character, style and period architecture. The seller recently replaced the roof and installed 3 gas fired boilers. All utilities are separated, making it a great addition to an investment portfolio. What's left are cosmetic repairs and finishing a large area for living space on the 3rd floor. It is being delivered free of tenants and will demand strong market rent.
