About this home
Discover 144 Chelsea, a distinctive mixed-use brick building with four residential units, one commercial space, and a one-car garage. The commercial unit is currently used as a beauty salon. A one-car garage is located at the back of the building and is accessible via a common alleyway. The property has four one-bedroom units, each with separate utilities. Additional features include a rubber roof and a combination of older hot-water baseboard gas-heating systems and a newer on-demand heating system. This building is in a prime location, close to the Airport, Maverick T Station, Greenway Park, and the YMCA. All units are currently rented, with leases in place.
