Two of the three units have been completely updated and remodeled. The upstairs unit is occupied. Onsite parking is at the rear of the property off the alley.This triplex sits on a gently sloped lot with two units at street/entry level and one unit perched above.

Recent interior updates give the lower units a clean, contemporary feel that appeals to today's renters.4552 -- One Bedroom Unit Located at the bottom of the steps on the left, offering a sense of privacy and separation from the other units.

New cabinets, sinks, and windows create a bright, efficient living space with improved energy performance. Easy access to the shared outdoor areas and parking.4554 -- Two Bedroom, One Bath Unit Positioned downstairs, making it convenient for tenants who prefer minimal stairs. A larger floorplan with two bedrooms and one bathroom, suitable for small families or roommates.

The remodel gives the unit a clean, move in ready feel with durable materials ideal for long term rental use.4554 1/2 -- Upper Unit (Occupied) This is the upstairs unit, accessed separately from the lower units.
