This charming 7-unit multifamily property offers the rare combination of immediate cash flow, value-add potential, and an irreplaceable location surrounded by some of the city's most distinguished historic homes and tree-lined streets. The property consists of five residential units within the stately main residence and two additional units located in the separate carriage house, which benefits from both front street access and rear alley access. Open on-site parking provides added convenience for residents and guests alike.
