What’s special

3-car garage
This is a GREAT building that was rehabbed a few years ago. This beauty sits on an oversized lot with a detached 3 car garage. This is a 3 unit building and perfect for house hacking. It does not have a basement but plenty of storage in each unit. Each unit has beautiful hardwood floors, stylish light fixtures, modern cabinetry, 3 large bedrooms and 1 bath. 2 current leases that end next year and one unit is a month to month tenant, in case you would like to live there right away. Building is beautifully maintained and can pass an FHA or conventional appraisal. DRY building with no flooding issues at all. 2 of the units have in unit laundry hook ups.
