Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Built in 1900, this approximately 1,520-square-foot residential property is arranged as two units with four bedrooms and 2 baths. One unit is occupied, while the upper unit is vacant and was not fully operational at the time of inspection. The building includes Lennox forced-hot-air oil heat, two electric domestic water heaters, and two breaker panels. Municipal water and public sewer serve the property, which occupies about 0.37 acre.

The asset requires substantial rehabilitation and is offered as-is. A fire in approximately June 2025 caused visible damage to the left side, including melted siding and damage to a window and upper entry door. Additional concerns include damp basement conditions, dated interior finishes, and untested plumbing and water fixtures in the vacant unit. The roof appears newer than several other components, though its installation history is unknown. Buyers should independently evaluate concealed fire damage, systems, measurements, permitted use, egress, occupancy, code compliance, and financing eligibility.

Key Highlights

  • Approximately 1,520 SF on about 0.37 acre
  • Existing two‑unit configuration with one occupied unit and one vacant unit
