3-Unit Multifamily at 1249 Main St, Northampton, PA — Listed at $475,000

This fully rented, turnkey 3-unit multifamily property is located at 1249 Main St in Northampton, Pennsylvania. With approximately 3,270 square feet of living space on a 7,000 square foot lot, this income-producing investment property is ideal for investors seeking separated utilities, in-unit laundry hookups, and a practical unit mix.

Property Overview

  • 3 occupied residential units
  • Unit 1: 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms
  • Unit 2: 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom
  • Unit 3: 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom
  • Updated kitchen, bathroom, and flooring finishes
  • In-unit laundry hookups in all units
  • Full basement, off-street parking
  • R-3 Residential zoning
  • Northampton Area School District
  • Public utilities — no grass to cut

Why Investors Love This Property

All utilities are separated — heat, cooling, water, sewer, and garbage are all paid by the tenants. This directly reduces operating expenses and puts more cash flow in your pocket from day one. The in-unit laundry hookups in all three units add tenant appeal and can command higher rents in the Lehigh Valley rental market. With all three units currently occupied, this is a true turnkey property — you start collecting income immediately.

1031 Exchange Opportunity

This property is an excellent candidate for a 1031 exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. A 1031 exchange allows you to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds from the sale of a like-kind investment property.

  • 45-day identification period: Identify replacement properties within 45 days of selling
  • 180-day closing deadline: Close on the replacement property within 180 days

Consult with a qualified tax advisor to understand how a 1031 exchange works for your situation.

The Lehigh Valley Rental Market

The Lehigh Valley continues to see strong rental demand driven by population growth, limited housing inventory, and proximity to major employment centers. Northampton offers a central location with easy access to Route 329, Route 248, and the broader Lehigh Valley corridor.
