Oversized 4 family with a ton of cash-flow and enough off street parking for each unit to have a spot. With one unit becoming vacant at the end of February, it sets up for an owner occupant and any investor looking for a cash-flowing property to add to their portfolio. The property is fully separately metered with tenants paying their own utilities. City run trash coupled with very little to shovel in the winter makes this an easy one to manage. Low maintenance and high cash-flow.***First showings will take place on Saturday. Email listing agent for details***

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.
