Don’t let this one be the one that got away. From the moment you step inside 55 Akin St, you’ll understand why. This is a home with presence, the kind of character and craftsmanship that reveals itself room by room.

With 4 bedrooms and generously proportioned living spaces, the home feels grand yet remarkably warm and inviting. Everywhere you look, there’s another detail to appreciate and another reason to linger. And just when you think you’ve seen everything, there’s more: the property is being sold with an additional rear parcel, offering an extraordinary amount of outdoor space and intriguing possibilities for the future build of 1-2 lots. Character. Space. History. Land. This isn't simply a house to see, it’s one to experience. And it may just be the one you don't want to let get away. Buyer/Buyer’s Agent to perform due diligence regarding potential uses/buildability of the additional parcel.

Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
