Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This mixed-use building offers a five-unit income configuration, with two first-floor storefront spaces that each have a private entrance and a rear common entry, along with updated shutter doors. The upper level includes one studio/office space, one 2-bedroom unit, and one 3-bedroom unit. Total building size is 4,052 sq. ft., supported by a full, high-ceiling basement that provides storage and room for future mechanical planning. Construction is brick with block, frame, and concrete elements, and the roof is flat. Heating is electric and hot water, with public sewer service.

Major system upgrades were completed in 2021, including a new gas line, a new 400-AMP electrical service with five separate meters, and four new hot water tanks. Architecture-approved plans are included for a future layout of four commercial/residential units plus one studio, supporting flexible long-term reconfiguration. Remaining items include roof leak repairs, plumbing updates, installation of two kitchens, upgrades to four bathrooms, flooring replacement, selective window updates, and full interior painting.

The deep rear lot provides space suitable for adding an estimated 10-15 vehicle parking area to increase usability for future occupants.
