Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This triplex includes three separate living units. The main portion of the house is described as a five-bedroom, two-bath layout with a living room and kitchen, with space noted on the first and second floors. The basement unit is described as one bedroom and one bathroom. The garage is described as a separate one-bedroom, one-bath apartment.

Set on a 0.28-acre lot with a big yard, the property notes parking options both off the street and in the alley. Construction materials include vinyl siding, with forced air heating and public water. The property was built in 1900, and hail damage is noted as having been done. With multiple tenants currently in place and more photos expected after tenants move out, the property is intended for an investor setup using the units as separate rentals.

The unit-by-unit configuration supports flexible owner-occupant and rental arrangements, while the yard and parking layout add practical day-to-day convenience.
