Very large 3 family in the Highlands. Owner occupy one unit and have the other two pay the mortgage, or allow the tenants (all are long term) to pay for your retirement fund!! Well maintained units with plenty of updates. Needs very little TLC. Some off street parking. Tenants pay utilities except for water and sewer. Great opportunity for someone looking for a low maintenance investment. Pictures are from first floor two bedroom unit. Please be understanding that units have tenants and therefore allow plenty of time for showing of all three units. Being sold as is.

TTF

Traditional Neighborhood Two Family District

Traditional Neighborhood Residential Districts are designed to preserve, promote, and enhance the pedestrian-scale character of Lowellâ€™s historic residential neighborhoods. All three encourage moderately-sized lots and prohibit large-scale developments. The TSF district emphasizes single-family homes, the TTF district also allows two-family homes, while the TMF also allows three-family homes and up to 6-unit multi-family developments by special permit. To encourage neighborhood stability and owner-occupancy, special provisions are provided for single-family developments in the TTF and TMF zones.
