Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This six-unit apartment building has been owner-occupied and well cared for for nearly 40 years. The property includes contemporary, well-maintained finishes, with space that could be refreshed to update appearances. The unit mix consists of a ground-floor studio plus a ground-floor 2BR/1BA owner’s unit, two 1BR/1BA units on the second floor, and one 1BR/1BA and one 2BR/1BA on the third floor. The building is approximately 4,750 square feet and is being sold as-is; the seller will make no repairs and will not provide inspection concessions.
The site extends from 15th Street to Sydenham Street and includes a detached garage and/or vacant lot space that could support an additional multi-family development. Utilities are separated for the units, and the available description states that building systems are up to date. The current income and occupancy configuration is described as four units of gross income with the owner’s unit non-paying, and three units reported as vacant.
For investors or owner-operators looking for an income-generating multifamily asset with an on-site garage and potential for additional development, the building offers a mix of studio and 1–2 bedroom layouts. The listing notes projected rents up to $78,600 per year when laundry and garage rental are included, and that the owner must have time to lease back following settlement.
