Units feature semi-private entries, central heat and air-conditioning, private sunrooms, vinyl or tile coverings in wet areas with carpet in bedrooms, walk-in closets and re-finished bathrooms.

Charter House presented investors with the opportunity to acquire a well-located, stabilized multifamily asset with value-add potential, and was sold free and clear of the existing debt allowing the buyer to take advantage of extremely attractive long-term financing options.

 The property has received over $100,000 in improvements including landscaping, irrigation system upgrades, parking lot resurfacing/restriping, interior corridors and laundry room makeovers, upgrades to the elevator and numerous interior renovations.

“Charter House received good interest in the marketplace due to its location in the up and coming Kenwood submarket just west of downtown St. Petersburg.  

"The buyer was a very experienced investor out of New York who was making his initial purchase in the area to satisfy a 1031 exchange.  The seller achieved 100 percent of our asking price which was a 28 percent premium over his 2011 purchase price,” says Babb.
