This spacious 3-family property is ready for its next owner. Each floor features five generous rooms and in-unit laundry, with the flexibility to configure as 2 or 3 bedrooms. Additional highlights include a 1-car garage, off-street parking, and a convenient location right on the bus line and close to shops, schools, and major amenities. The property could benefit from some updating, but with solid bones and significant rental growth opportunity, it's a fantastic investment or owner-occupied opportunity. All units are fully occupied by long-term tenants, with rents well below market value, offering excellent upside potential.
