Description

Investors take note. This home once was a triplex in it's former life. The meter base exhibits the potential for three meters. Large kitchen has oak cabinets and opens to an even larger living room. A bathroom on both floors and another two rooms that could be separate bedrooms. Second floor has a smaller kitchen that may have been part of an efficiency apartment. The garage is a bonus (or not) but needs work. Floors are weak in the back room so be careful and please attend to small children.
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 April 25, 2023

    "The streets here are very friendly and good for walking dogs at any time of the day, or night. However, there are a LOT of stray cats, so if your dog is a cat chaser you may need to keep him/her on a tight leash. And keep them up to date with vaccinations. "
