Home offers strong potential for both investors and owner-occupants. The building features spacious units with a highly desirable layout. The first-floor unit offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the second-floor unit features a large 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom layout, and the garden/basement unit is a oversized 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment. The basement unit currently has a CHA tenant in place, and an application has been submitted to CHA for a rent increase, creating additional upside potential.
