The full basement extends the length of the property and offers good ceiling height with exciting value-add possibilities. Subject to applicable zoning, permits, and approvals, explore the potential to finish the basement with an additional bedroom and bathroom, while still leaving room for a home office, recreation area, or additional finished living space.

RENTAL INCOME POTENTIAL
Based on area market data, one-bedroom units may rent approximately $700–$1,100 per month, while two-bedroom units may rent approximately $950–$1,450 per month, depending on condition, finishes, amenities, and prevailing market conditions. Buyers should independently verify market rents and projected income.
The property is VACANT and being sold strictly in AS-IS condition, allowing the next owner to get started without having to relocate existing tenants.
TWO UNITS. MULTIPLE STRATEGIES. ONE OPPORTUNITY.
