Each apartment features a full kitchen and bathroom, hardwood floors, and 10-foot ceilings with stainless steel appliances. The building sits on a 2,000 square foot lot and is zoned R5 (1.25) with a C2-2 Overlay (1.0).

The significant rental upside potential, combined with the possibility of converting the ground floor unit into a larger space or duplex, makes this a truly remarkable investment opportunity. The current market rents for similar two-bedroom units in the area are approximately $2,500 per month, offering substantial room for rent increases.
