Built in 1930 on a 7,997 SF corner lot, the 21,615 SF building delivers a family-oriented unit mix of six 2-bedroom, six 3-bedroom, four 3-bedroom 1.5-bath, and four 4-bedroom 2-bath apartments. The property requires capital improvements to the boiler system, electrical service, and plumbing throughout, presenting a clean slate for a full gut renovation and lease-up at market rents.
