- Inclusions: This unique property includes a former in-law apartment, originally built before 1997 without permits. Electrical and plumbing to the unit were professionally disconnected in 2012 per city requirements. While the space is currently not a legal or functional dwelling unit, recent updates to Cranston’s ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) ordinances may offer an opportunity for future re-permitting or conversion; buyer to perform due diligence. The space presents flexible potential for multigenerational living, guest use, or creative reimagining. Property is being sold As-Is. The list price of $499, 000 is intentionally aggressive to generate market interest; seller anticipates and will seriously consider offers starting in the $520s. The seller reserves the right to accept, counter, or reject any offer, regardless of price.
