About this home

Great mixed-use brick building with four residential units, a beauty Salon and one car garage in the back of the building accessible via common alleyway, 4 one bedrooms units and all separated utilities but currently the owner pays for heat on the residential units and hot water for whole building; tenants pay electricity; commercial tenant pays all utilities except hot water is included in the rent. Five older forced hot water baseboard gas heating systems and some update electrical, most windows are newer and rubber roof. Building is on a prime location within a short walk to Airport or Maverick T Satiation, Greenway Park and YMCA.
