One unit was extensively renovated in 2022 with updated flooring, kitchen, bathroom, and finishes throughout, while the building's electrical system was also completely updated in 2022. This unit is currently rented at $1,600 per month inclusive.The other three-bedroom unit could be vacant on closing, providing an excellent opportunity for an investor to renovate and set market rent, or for an owner-occupier looking to offset living costs.
