The basement also has supplemental heat with multiple thermostats/zones and a dedicated house meter. These existing features may provide flexibility for a future owner to evaluate alternative configurations and uses. Current rents have been intentionally maintained below market in recognition of exceptional long-term tenants. Priced accordingly, this is a strong opportunity for an investor seeking an improved property with existing tenancy and significant room for income growth.
