This triplex presents a valuable opportunity with flexible options under its current R1 zoning designation. The property is presently limited to three primary units, consistent with R1 zoning regulations. However, the site may allow for the addition of one Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), creating the potential for up to four total units on the property. Buyers seeking expansion possibilities will appreciate the versatility this lot offers. Options may include remodeling or enlarging the existing units, or even demolishing and rebuilding to create a more modern configuration. Any redevelopment would still be subject to the zoning requirement of three primary units plus one ADU, and the property cannot exceed two stories in height under current regulations.This is an excellent opportunity for investors or developers looking for a property with both immediate income potential and long-term flexibility within zoning guidelines.
