Investors and owner-occupants—don’t miss this updated 3-unit property situated on a spacious double lot! Offering a versatile 2/2/1 layout, this property features numerous recent improvements, including newer roofs on the house and garage (2025/2026), hot water tanks (2020, 2021 & 2025), a new concrete driveway, and three additional off-street parking spaces.
The upper unit is vacant and ready for a new tenant or owner-occupant. It features a furnace approximately 3 years old, some newer windows, a huge eat-in kitchen, and access to the attic for additional storage.
The lower unit is occupied by a month-to-month tenant and offers a spacious layout with a formal dining room, huge living room, eat-in kitchen, all-new flooring, and a boiler approximately 3 years old.
The rear two-story unit is occupied by a tenant whose lease is up October 1, 2026 and features one oversized bedroom that could potentially be converted back into two bedrooms, along with a good-sized kitchen and dining room. The furnace is approximately 6 years old.
Additional highlights include a clean, dry basement with glass block windows, maintenance-free vinyl siding, front and side porches, and a large double lot offering plenty of outdoor space to enjoy during the summer months.
Whether you’re looking to add to your investment portfolio or live in one unit while generating rental income from the others, this property offers plenty of possibilities.
