About this home

Very well maintained brick building in a great location with a tremendous & consistent rent roll with all 4 units rented through end of August 2020. All 4 units are always fully occupied and rents increase every year and there are zero delinquency issues at the building. The property is in great shape and all unit related utilities are paid by the tenants. This property has very low maintenance / upkeep with basically no common areas to maintain but does have a very nice back patio area as outdoor space. Unit 1 is a bi-level unit that encompasses the 1st floor and the lower level of the building. It has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms. Unit 2 is a two bed with a separate office and 2 full baths on the 2nd floor of the building while Unit 3 is a three bed, one bath unit on the 3rd floor of the building and Unit 4 is a two bed, one bath unit on the 4th floor of the building. The rear exterior bricks were all re-pointed in the past 60 days & common hallway & front exterior were just painted.
