Whether you are an investor or an owner-occupant seeking flexible rental potential, this property presents a unique opportunity at an attractive price point. The property includes a main residence of approximately 1,009 sq ft plus a detached rear cottage, known as 1008 1/2 Merry St, measuring approximately 512 sq ft based on floor plan measurements.
Both residences are currently vacant, providing flexibility for an owner-occupant or investor. The detached cottage offers 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and was previously rented for $895/month.
