Description

This dynamic triplex in the heart of downtown Ithaca is a short walk from restaurants, boutiques and Cornell University on one side and Wegmans and retail shopping galore on the other.

This 3-unit features an occupied studio downstairs, an occupied 1BR downstairs, and an occupied 3 BR upstairs, making this an ideal investment property, as all rooms are generating income and rented through July 31. Best of all, the certificate of occupancy is good until Sept 2026 and one tenant has been there seven years, so you have the security of a long term renter. New boiler 3 years ago and a new hot water heater last year. Utilities except phone/cable/internet included. The main roof was replaced/redone in April 2014.

In the 3-bedroom apt upstairs, window air conditioning unit is provided for each bedroom and living room. Porch roofs are 2 years old. 3 bedroom and studio come furnished.

Net operating income is over $36,000! Gross income is $55,920!

All leases end 7/31/26 with option to renew.

    "It is a very easy commute to downtown. Slightly more to the colleges. I consider commutes under 15 minutes to be easy though. I know Ithacans complain about traffic at the “octopus”, but that’s only because most of them have never seen traffic."

The people are great and Northeast Elementary including the Ithaca City School District is beyond amazing. Northeast Ithaca is close to Cornell University. There are many reasons why homes in in Northeast Ithaca are in high demand."
