Two units have been recently renovated, and windows have been updated as needed over time. The property has been owned and maintained by a respected local general contractor for over 30 years, reflecting consistent care and stewardship. Key systems, including windows and the roof, have been updated as necessary over the years. With a current net operating income of $42,070, the property delivers a cap rate of 4.95% based on existing rents. However, with rents well below market value, there is significant room for growth. A pro forma using typical local rents projects a cap rate of 7% or more, even with allowances for management and maintenance. The property includes six on-site parking spots and is located directly adjacent to a public park, with a baseball diamond just across the street. Only a short walk to the Rideau River, restaurants, shopping, and other amenities, this property combines stable income with long-term potential in one of Eastern Ontario's most accessible mid-size markets.
