Prime investment opportunity in the heart of Union Village. This historic two-story New Englander offers excellent potential as a three-unit rental property.

Together, the three units provide an opportunity for diversified rental income and long-term value. The property requires significant updating, making it ideal for an investor or contractor seeking a value-added project. Flexible business/commercial zoning provides additional options for future use, while the primary opportunity is residential rental income.
