Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Built in 1890 as a storefront with a second-floor apartment, 1124 McKinstry St has since been converted to two residential units and may be adapted for live-work use. The ground floor is currently a partially renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, offering room for further improvements. The second floor features a newly renovated 3-bedroom, 1-bath layout with an in-unit washer and dryer.

The building has separately metered utilities for each unit. A new roof was installed in 2023, supporting continued maintenance and preservation of the property.

With its storefront origins and current two-unit configuration, the property can fit buyers looking for a flexible live-work arrangement, or investors seeking residential rental space with clear utility separation. The partially renovated first-floor unit provides an opportunity to tailor finishes and functionality to the next operator or occupant’s needs.
