This property is being described as “turn key” by the realtor. From the looks of the photos, it certainly seems so. The bathrooms, kitchens, and other rooms all seem to be in very good shape. For Grand Street, this price is very low. It would be wise to see the property in person to see if there are any other parts of the house that need major attention. The exterior could use a major facelift and, the house has been configured for multi-family use. A feature you might or might not want. It is exciting to see inside. The two properties next door are also currently on the market.

This past Saturday was the grand opening and re-opening of businesses on Liberty Street. The much loved Juice Headquarters reopened at 118 Liberty Street, close to the intersection of Ann Street, across the street from the Wherehouse Restaurant. (Photo by Shailly Agnihotri)
Confectionery Comforts also opened this Sunday at 71 Liberty Street. According to their Facebook page, “Confectionery Comforts is classic Italian American style baking. Specialties are cakes, pies, cookies and more for any occasion.” This was the Juice HQ’s old location. Since then, the building has been bought and rehabilitated.
When one one door closes, another one opens. It’s great to see that ideas and creativity continue coming to Liberty Street.
