2BR home plus 4-1BR cottages. An incredible Marin County investment opportunity. The property is located on 1.38 acres (60,000 sf) of land, and features a spacious 2BR home with tall ceilings, inlaid hardwood floors, oversized bedrooms, a large country kitchen and a 50's purple'' bath that the tenants love. In addition to the main house, there are four, updated and in great condition 1BR cottages. Each unit has its own laundry room and attached 1-car garage. While the current price reflects the property's existing income, the true value lies in its untapped potential - keep as is, or add two additional ADU'' cottages, or divide the property into separate lots with the house on one and four 1BR houses on the others. Sellers may consider short-term financing at 5%. Duplicate listing in MLS residential
