Description

Introducing a rare opportunity to own a completely renovated 6-unit multifamily building, thoughtfully designed for long-term value, energy efficiency, and low-maintenance ownership. Each unit is laid out in a desirable townhouse-style configuration, offering tenants privacy and a home-like feel—ideal for attracting quality renters. This property underwent an extensive, down-to-the-studs renovation, including full replacement of all major systems and structural components. Each unit is individually metered—including electric, water, and sewer—minimizing operating costs and maximizing net income. High-efficiency mini-split systems providing both heat and A/C. Each unit also includes a private basement for ample storage and future potential to add more finished living space. The building has 12 off-street parking spaces (two per unit, all assigned). Whether you’re looking to expand your portfolio or secure a turnkey income property, this multifamily checks all the boxes.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from February 27, 2026
