Calling all investors, house hackers and urbanites. This 9500+ square foot lot includes parking, with mature gardens tiering down to your eclectic, well-designed and maintained brick-front, 3-Family property. The building includes 3 large, 2-bedroom apartments ranging from 1048 square feet to 1290 square feet, per unit. Unit one, the garden-level walkout, was “gutted to the studs” in 2018 and rebuilt with two very accommodating bedrooms, new flooring, plus a new kitchen and bath. Soaring ceilings create a very cool, industrial vibe in this pad that is vacant and ready for immediate occupancy. Unit two includes a recently rebuilt deck overlooking the North End, a large living room, 2024 gut-remodeled bathroom, a copious kitchen with tons of sunlight, and two massive bedrooms. Original wide-plank hardwood flooring and a beautiful turret in your primary bedroom create architectural appeal and flow that is rarely found in an investment property, bringing this choice into the next caliber up. Unit 3 is a very cool townhouse-style apartment with an updated kitchen, walkout roof deck, and tons of character. Walk-up attic has been converted into a 3-seasons artist loft, which is your fourth living level of this dynamic home. This property is located right on the North Providence border, with sidewalks leading to Hopkins Park and about 5–10 minutes driving or biking to the shopping and restaurants of the East Side. Win-win-win w/ this 3-family gem, don’t miss your shot!
