There is a basement that has a work shop and storage units, along with coin-op washer and dryer...This is a gem of an investment property right in the heart of Fairhaven in the Urban Village!

There is a basement that has a work shop and storage units, along with coin-op washer and dryer (for the upper units, but they are W/D ready, too) and a 3/4 bath that is about .75% done, and additional units could be added down there. Electrical, plumbing, furnaces and hot water were updated in 2000 or sooner.
