A DUPLEX THAT HAS BEEN LOOKED AFTER There is a difference between a rental property that has been owned and one that has been cared for. This one reads immediately as the second kind. THE UNITS Both apartments offer two bedrooms and a full bath, and each carries a bonus — an extra room beyond the standard layout that works as a dining room, a home office, or simply additional living space. That flexibility is quietly valuable in a rental: it widens the pool of people the unit suits and it supports a stronger rent. The downstairs unit adds private outdoor space of its own, with a back deck and a small front porch. THE GARAGE A spacious two-car garage sits on the property. In a market where covered parking is scarce, this is not a footnote — it is a feature tenants stay for, and it gives the property something most comparable rentals simply cannot offer. THE OPERATING PICTURE Both units are occupied under long-term tenancies, so the property produces from closing rather than after a lease-up. Tenants currently handle lawn maintenance and snow removal, which keeps the owner's seasonal workload and outside vendor costs down. Laundry for both apartments is located in the basement. DISCLOSED PLAINLY: electrical service throughout the building is a mix of fuses and circuit breakers. It is noted here so buyers can price it accurately and address it with their lender and insurer up front. AVAILABLE AS A PACKAGE This duplex may be purchased together with a nearby three-unit property held by the same owner — a combined five units in a single transaction, with one seller and one closing timeline. Each property is a one- to four-unit residential building and can also be purchased individually. Buyers should confirm financing structure with their own lender. For an investor building a footprint in Olean, acquiring two well-maintained, fully occupied buildings at once is a considerably faster path than assembling them one at a time.

THREE UNITS, THREE LONG-TERM TENANCIES, AND WOODWORK YOU HAVE TO SEE Some multi-family properties are bought for the spreadsheet alone. This one gives you both — a solid set of numbers and a building people actually want to live in. THE CONDITION The property presents as well maintained throughout — looked after rather than merely occupied. All three units are in solid rentable condition today, with incredible woodwork throughout. WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE NEW SEWER LINE FROM THE STREET. If you have owned rental property in an older neighborhood, you know exactly what this is worth. It is among the most expensive and disruptive repairs a building of this era can face, and it is done. UPDATED ELECTRICAL PANELS. UTILITIES LARGELY SEPARATED by unit, keeping operating costs predictable and accountability clear. THE LAYOUT Three units, six bedrooms, and three baths in total. Each unit has its own porch—private outdoor space for each tenancy—and the upstairs unit has two. The front lower unit has its own laundry. The upper and rear units share a laundry area in the basement. THE INCOME PICTURE All three units are occupied under long-term tenancies, so the property produces income from day one rather than after a lease-up period. Current rents sit below market. That is deliberate, not an oversight: the income has room to move for a buyer who wants it, and the in-place figures are conservative rather than stretched. PLEASE NOTE, in the interest of a clean transaction: there is no off-street parking, and the owner currently pays electric and water for the lower front and rear units. AVAILABLE AS A PACKAGE These three units may be purchased together with a nearby duplex held by the same owner — a combined five units in a single transaction, with one seller and one closing timeline. Each property is a one- to four-unit residential building and can also be purchased individually. Buyers should confirm financing structure with their own lender.
