Two vacant units give a new owner immediate options in this four-unit Troy property, whether occupying one while collecting income from the remaining units or placing new tenants and establishing rents following turnover. The vacancies were intentionally maintained in preparation for sale, and the property otherwise has a history of long-term tenancy. The property offers a mix of two one-bedroom and two two-bedroom units. Two units are accessed from the front of the property and two from the rear, creating more separation between units and reducing shared foot traffic. Off-street parking adds significant practical value, complemented by a low-maintenance yard. On-site coin-operated laundry provides convenient tenant access while generating an additional income stream for the property. 128 6th Avenue, directly across the street, is also available for sale. The properties may be purchased individually or together, offering the option to acquire seven units across two properties in the same location. The City of Troy recently completed water and sewer line improvements along the street, benefiting the property. Financial information is provided for review.
