Description
Beautiful custom built brick apartment building! Here's your opportunity for a solid first investment or a strong addition to your rental portfolio. This maintenance-free, all-brick 5-unit has been consistently well maintained with a history of 100% occupancy and long-term tenants.Recent updates include a new roof, gutters, and soffits (2011), new windows (2013), and an updated boiler with new circulation pumps and gas controls (2018). In 2023, two units were fully renovated with new flooring, modernized kitchens and bathrooms, and fresh paint throughout—an investment of over $30,000 that has already increased rents and boosted profitability.Each unit offers a spacious kitchen, living room, bathroom, and one bedroom with abundant closet space. Heat is zoned per unit, with owner-set thermostats.
