Private entrance off of Fleming Street408 Porter Court is really cute two story townhome. While some buyers buy places in hope that the rental income will help defray costs of ownership, this unit really delivers and has a great rental history. It was the top producing property in Truman Annex in 2010 and it has substantial pre-bookings for 2011 and 2012. A buyer who wants heads-in-beds to help make the mortgage payments on a second property like this can appreciate the value of having vacationers that return year after year. It is like having money in the bank.
This 1140 sq ft unit was built in 1992 but it does not look like it. The kitchen is very current as are the baths. All rooms are nicely furnished. French doors open from the living room onto one of two rear decks. I did not see any deferred maintenance. What I did see was a nice inviting back entry (right onto Fleming Street). That means you can or your guests can by-pass going through the main entry and make a quick exit directly to your favorite Old Town hangout. Fleming Street as well as all other gates are locked at night but owners and guests have keyed access.This Transient Licensed unit is offered at $749,000.
