Additional improvements include two rear garage structures offering a total of (6) garages, along with open onsite parking for tenants. Tenants pay their own gas and electricity, helping reduce owner operating expenses.
The property spans two separate lots, with one parcel containing four units and the second parcel containing three units and additional parking areas. A long private driveway enhances tenant privacy and provides convenient access throughout the property.
With no local city rent control, strong tenant demand, and significant long-term upside potential, this is an exceptional opportunity for investors seeking dependable cash flow and future appreciation in a highly sought-after rental market.
