Location – Location! - this beauty is part of the Margarita Place Historic District with great visibility and high density R-5 zoning. Could be re-zoned for commercial use like many of it's neighbors. It enjoys high demand from the downtown-loving tenant base with arts and entertainment hubs very close. Phoenix College is across the street. St Joseph's Hospital is just down the road. The units are spacious with two 1-bed units and two 2-bed/2-bath units! Tile floors, newer roof, ACs, plumbing, and electric make this an easy keeper
Trophy Property! Beautiful Bones with newer HVACs, BRAND NEW ROOF, copper plumbing and updated electrical service! Unit mix is two 2/2s and two 1/1s. Walk to Phoenix College! Encanto Golf Course to the South - awesome area! Rents are a little below market. On site laundry! Covered parking and owner storage. Buyer to verify all items prior to close of escrow.
