This 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom townhouse in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood presents a prime investment opportunity. Built in 1925, the property features a full basement and an eat-in kitchen, offering potential for renovation and increased value. The interior boasts original wood flooring, while the exterior includes sidewalks and a welcoming porch, enhancing curb appeal. With a lot size of 0.03 acres, the property is situated in a location with excellent transportation access, including commuter rail and bus stations within a mile, making it attractive for renters. The property requires major rehabilitation, allowing investors to customize renovations to maximize rental income or resale value. The below-average condition reflects a significant opportunity for value-add improvements. On-street parking is available, and the sloping lot offers unique landscaping possibilities. This property is ideal for investors looking to capitalize on a growing market with strong rental demand.
