About this home
Located on a fenced-in corner lot, 309 Cottage Street presents a high-utility opportunity for portfolio investors and owner-occupants seeking a value-add entry into the New Bedford market. This two-family residence is being delivered completely vacant, offering a clean slate for immediate modernization. It’s the perfect canvas for those looking to bring their vision to a property with significant upside potential. Each unit features a consistent two-bedroom layout designed for functional living. The first-floor apartment offers a distinct lifestyle advantage with a private deck that leads directly to the backyard, while the exterior is wrapped in low-maintenance vinyl siding to help streamline future upkeep. While the interior is ready for a full aesthetic refresh, the bones of this home provide a solid foundation for a custom renovation that could maximize both equity and rental yields. By leveraging the area’s strong rental demand through targeted updates, you can maximize your equity and secure a robust long-term asset.
