Highly desirable for investors: • The Main House (234 W 14th St): A 1930s Craftsman with excellent character features like a raised front porch, a cozy fireplace, and an upstairs loft with its own private covered balcony. The secondary side entrance adds highly desirable flexibility, allowing you to split the main home further or offer private access if you rent out rooms individually. The Basement Apartment: Fully finished with a kitchen, living area, and bathroom. Because it is accessed from the rear and opens up to a large concrete patio, it feels like its own distinct, private residence rather than a shared basement space. • The ADU (228 W 14th St): Positioned to the right, this separate detached small home functions completely independently, previously utilized as a 2-bedroom unit with direct backyard access. Benefits: Separate Meters: This is one of the biggest wins for a landlord. Having separate utility meters means tenants pay for their own electricity and gas directly, significantly lowering your overhead costs and eliminating utility disputes. Common Laundry in garage, Private Laundry in main house: While the separate garage has a utility room designated for common laundry, the main house also features indoor laundry hookups. This gives you the option to provide premium in-unit laundry for your main tenant while maintaining a coin-op or shared setup for the other units.
