What a location! Set in the middle of Allen Avenue with public transportation nearby and close to everything Portland has to offer, this large two unit has potential for a third unit or business run out of the barn. Due diligence is that of the buyer. The barn was used as a business and has a set up for three offices/bedrooms and a large living room/ conference space. Inside, the three bedroom first floor unit have oversized rooms and a newly remodeled large bathroom. Laundry room and front porch are an added bonus! The second floor has five bedrooms and an oversized living room and a kitchen with laundry room off the back hallway. Wow! five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large layout make this second floor an excellent rental! Long term tenants (month to month) are in place, a natural gas boiler hangs in the basement, a sprinkler system, hardwood flooring, large parking lot to fit 4-6 vehicles and a large grassy back yard.

A Portland multi value with lots of upside potential. Features include 3 and 4 bedroom large units with long term tenants (month to month), a newer NAT GAS boiler, sprinkler system, hardwood flooring, parking and possibilities with the barn. The units are in good condition but the building needs some work (some exterior rot, deck work, partial roof and barn rehab). This is an estate sale with limited information. To be sold in "as is" condition ideally with the tenants in place.
