The property has undergone comprehensive renovations within the last 8 years, including modern kitchen and bathroom updates across all three units. It features significant system upgrades such as new central HVAC, updated recessed lighting, and recent 2026 maintenance. The interior and exterior are in mint, move-in-ready condition with high-end finishes like refinished hardwoods and stainless steel appliances.

Unlike traditional multifamily layouts, this corner-unit triplex is designed so each residence feels like a standalone home, a feature that significantly enhances tenant retention and supports premium rental rates.
The asset features rare amenities for its vintage, including separate gas and electric meters, dual driveways for ample on-site parking, and a central courtyard, all of which streamline operations and increase desirability.
While the property is highly updated, the laundry is located in a detached shared structure rather than being in-unit, which may be a slight drawback for tenants seeking maximum convenience.
At a list price of nearly $1.8M, the high price-per-unit reflects its turnkey status but may limit the pool of investors looking for distressed value-add opportunities or higher initial cash-on-cash returns.
