Overview

Description

The rear building includes six individual rental rooms, shared kitchen, communal full bath, plus a half bath with laundry. Current rents total $2,450/month, not including the vacant unit or three empty rooms, leaving room for increased cash flow. Many updates completed including exterior improvements to the front house, partial roof replacement on the front house, new roof on the rear building, full sewer line replacement, updated kitchen and bath in the upper unit, and updated furnace and electrical in the rear building. Land Contract financing may be possible. Call for your private showing today!
