Excellent investment opportunity situated directly across from Victoria Park and just minutes from downtown St. John’s. This fully renovated property features two elevated two-bedroom apartments, each with independent laundry hook-ups.

Additional upgrades include two brand new hot water boilers, repairs to the hot water closet, a serviced air exchanger with new exterior vent and dryer piping, and repaired windows with new screens. Brand new appliances — including fridge, stove, dishwasher, and range hood — are included in the bottom unit.
