Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Meticulously maintained two-family duplex featuring ongoing updates throughout both units. Recent improvements include refinished hardwood floors, updated paint, and updated kitchens and baths. Unit 2 has mini splits added in 2020, and 1st-floor windows have just been updated. The heated walk-up attic provides an opportunity to expand the 2nd-floor unit.

The property is a walk-up configuration with currently leased units. It includes utility and major system upgrades such as updated 200-amp electric service, boilers completed in the early 2000s, water heaters recently replaced, and a roof completed in 2008.

With both units under leases, the building is positioned for rental income while still offering a path for future owner-occupancy.
