The property consists of a spacious SFR built in 1939, and 3 new construction apartments built in 2018. With a total of 9 bedrooms and over $10,000 per month in income, this property is a MUST SEE. The 3 rear units are non-rent control, and given the new construction, there should be extremely minimal maintenance - a huge value compared to older properties. The front remodeled home is 1,250 SF and 3Br+1Ba, with fresh exterior paint, original hardwood floors, recessed lighting, arched ceilings and an original fireplace that has been long covered up but still gives off a charming art deco vibe. The kitchen has granite countertops and backsplash, tile floors, and washer/dryer. The rear structure is attached to the front house and is comprised of just under 2,500 SF total. All 3 new units have Central A/C and Heat, very high-quality kitchens, bathrooms, and finishes throughout with recessed lighting, subway tile, stainless steel appliances, in-unit washer/dryers and much more!
