Stabilized, high-margin 3,600sf multifamily asset in the heart of Albemarle's Revitalized Core offers a rare combination of immediate cash flow and a zero-drag operational model. Property has no common areas, effectively eliminating the unbillable utility costs, cleaning requirements, and management friction typical of corridor-style buildings. The configuration features four 900 SF 2BR/1BA units, each with its own covered front porch, independent exterior entry and a similar layout. Every unit is separately metered for electric and water and offers a functional two-level layout with full kitchens, dining and living areas on the main floor, bedrooms and updated bath elements upstairs. Flooring is typically durable LVP or laminate with carpet on the stairs. Modern energy-efficient HVAC systems and ceiling fans keep tenant utility costs low; wood-burning fireplaces are currently sealed closed. The vinyl exterior, street parking, and minimal landscaping keep landlord maintenance negligible. Unfinished basement provides emergency egress and contains storm water control infrastructure, possible storage income, STR bike parking. Significant value-add potential exists through light cosmetic improvements and the flexible Central Business District zoning, which allows easy, by-right conversion to high-yield Short-Term Rental (STR) or Mid-Term Rental (MTR) use. The independent direct-entry layouts are perfect for contactless check-in, appealing to both occasional and corporate guests. Market data for the downtown core supports a projected STR ADR of $180-$215, offering a pathway to significantly outpace traditional long-term rents.
