Great investment property just blocks from the Valley Junction entertainment district. This is a purpose-built 4 plex, not a conversion. Featuring 4 two-bedroom units that all have an unfinished walk-up attic that leaves potential for more finish. There are spacious living rooms, ample kitchens, and classic features like hardwood floors and trim. Ample off-street parking behind the property for all tenants as well as a shared fenced-in yard. The roof, siding, and HVAC have been updated on all units, meaning no large expenses in the near future. Build your rental portfolio or even create some AirBnB options in this great location.
