About this home
Multi Family · Built 1893 · Historic
Fantastic opportunity in Auburn Gresham! Bring your design ideas to this modestly updated 2-unit property. Well cared for and filled with charming vintage details, the building offers great natural light and excellent curb appeal. The basement includes a small mechanical area only. The spacious backyard is perfect for gardening or outdoor entertaining-add fencing for privacy or convert the space to parking for added convenience. So many possibilities! One unit includes window A/C, and both units have baseboard heat. Appliances include one microwave (downstairs), one refrigerator, and a stove. A sump pump is also on the property. Live in one unit and rent the other, or rent out both for a solid investment. Property is sold as-is, but inspections are welcome. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, and public transportation. A great value with endless potential!
