Based on property information with market context.

This well-maintained triplex offers three separate rental units: one spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, one 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, and one studio apartment. Residents share access to a common coin-operated laundry area, providing an additional convenience and utility for day-to-day living. The property has been carefully cared for by the same owner for more than 20 years. Notable capital improvements include a newer electrical service line, updated electrical panels and panel boxes, extensive rewiring, and updated copper plumbing.
