About This Home
Versatile Two-Family Home with Great Potential! This multi-family offers two bedrooms and one full bath in each unit, plus an additional room in each apartment that can easily be used as a third bedroom, home office, den, or flex space. Each unit also offers the convenience of its own washer and dryer. The first-floor unit is currently vacant and features an updated kitchen and bathroom, making it ideal for an owner-occupant or new tenant. The kitchen opens through sliders to a deck overlooking the level lot, providing a great space for outdoor enjoyment. The full basement includes a partially finished area, offering additional storage or the opportunity to create even more living space. A full walk-up attic provides excellent additional storage and potential. The second-floor unit is currently leased through the end of August, providing immediate rental income for the new owner. A level lot, flexible living spaces, separate laundry for each unit, and additional basement and attic space make this a great opportunity for an investor or owner-occupant looking to offset their mortgage with rental income.
