Property Description


0.00 Acres Lot
Built in 1900
Sale Pending
2 Units

Whether you're a savvy investor or a discerning person seeking a spacious owner-occupied multi-family, this stately circa-1900 brick townhouse delivers strong income potential with modern comfort. Fully rebuilt in 2017 from the studs out after a fire, the property now features updated plumbing, electrical, insulation, and stylish finishes. Each main floor unit offers approx. 1,500 square feet with three generously sized bedrooms, two full baths, a well-appointed kitchen, a convenient laundry area just off the kitchen, and access to a private deck. The finished lower level adds even more value with a self-contained in-law apartment featuring two bedrooms, a full bath, a modern kitchen, and a private entrance. Step outside and escape to a vibrant Caribbean-inspired retreat, lovingly designed by the seller island native- with sandy lounging areas, pavilions for gatherings, a full outdoor kitchen, a hammock, and lush tropical plantings, including bamboo. It's perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or embracing the Marley spirit. And there's still a deeper city lot that may offer enough room for an additional income-generating structure (not guaranteed, so seek advice from town hall). Tucked away from the street, you'll enjoy a private, leafy oasis with excellent access to city amenities. While not an on-the-books as a 3-family home yet, this process is underway! Once completed, the newly finished lower level offers additional income.
