About this home

Inside the home

This is a four-unit income property in a large 1890 Italianate building — four separate meters, four kitchens, and enough square footage that units feel like real apartments rather than cramped conversions. The period bones are intact: original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and arched windows run through most of the upper units. Finish quality varies across the building. The best unit has a white shaker kitchen with stainless appliances; others have older dark-cabinet kitchens with white appliances. Bathrooms throughout are dated. The unfinished basement shows its age, and the stucco exterior has visible cracking that warrants a closer look before closing. For investors, the structure, lot, and location do the heavy lifting. Capital improvements will be needed over time, but the building is occupied and generating income now.

  • Four separately metered units with individual electrical panels
  • Original hardwood floors and high ceilings throughout most units
  • Period architecture with arched windows and detailed exterior
  • Newer furnace and hot water tank visible in basement
  • White shaker kitchen in one unit is a genuine upgrade
  • Detached garage on property
  • Large driveway with ample parking for multiple tenants
