The current owners acquired the entire building and have completed substantial renovations to two of the three residences, investing heavily in major building systems and capital improvements. The property is in excellent condition and reflects thoughtful stewardship throughout. The building can be delivered vacant or with the third floor tenant in place. You decide! With direct access to the garden courtyard and a two car garage, this residence allows for multiple long term strategies including living in one unit while renting the others, combining units for expanded living space, or restoring the property to a grand single family home. The upper units can be delivered vacant prior to closing if preferred by the buyer.
