Three family that is fully rented. Great for investors or owner occupied Some updates have been completed. Now it needs new owners. Plenty of off street parking to keep tenants happy this winter. All tenants want to stay. Owner pays for heat and electricity for 2nd floor tenants.. May I suggest that when showing arrive 15 min early and KNOCK on all the tenants doors and introduce your self and that will make it easier to get in. Just saying....

TMF
Traditional Neighborhood Multi-Family District
Traditional Neighborhood Residential Districts are designed to preserve, promote, and enhance the pedestrian-scale character of Lowell’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.
