Listing details for 42 Gilford Ave, Laconia, NH 03246 : INVESTORS & VISIONARIES: This 1780 property is a rare cash-flow machine with endless possibilities.
Legally zoned as a 2-unit property, plus two separate workshop/storage areas ready for additional rental possibilities. Need an in-law suite? Done. Love 1780 antiques with original character still intact? This one speaks to you — and there have been some upgrades/updates throughout. With proper zoning variances, this could even become a lawyer or accountant's office. The truth is, there are dozens of ways to use this property—just bring your imagination.
Location? Still everything. Centrally located near the hospital, grocery stores, big-box hardware, downtown shops, and everything people flock to the Lakes Region for. Sitting on nearly half an acre, you get a generous backyard and a large deck made for entertaining.
Two street entrances/exits plus plenty of parking for everyone—tenants, guests, or work vehicles.
Maybe you're a "project" person? There's plenty to do here. Or nothing at all. You decide.
Here's the kicker: The seller had no intention of selling. Great rental history. Real cash flow. But plans change—and now this could be your opportunity.
