Property Description


0.04 Acres Lot
Built in 1920
For Sale - Active
3 Units

Located between Atwells Avenue & Broadway, 98 Penn Street offers a prime opportunity to experience the vibrant & eclectic West Side of Providence. This legal three-family property features three well-appointed two-bedroom, one-bath units, each with hardwood floors & architectural details that add to the home’s character. ** The interiors & mechanicals have been updated, while long-term tenancy has kept rents below market value, presenting significant upside potential. Each unit offers a functional layout with well-proportioned rooms, maintaining a balance of charm & modern convenience.** Ideally situated with easy access to downtown, the East Side, hospitals, highways, & within walking distance to the train station, this property is well-positioned for both investors & owner-occupants seeking a strong location & long-term value.
