About This Home
Welcome to this extensively reconstructed legal two-family property, offering an excellent opportunity for an owner-occupant or investor. The first-floor unit features 3 bedrooms, while the second-floor unit offers 2 bedrooms. The property was substantially taken down to its original brick exterior shell and rebuilt from the inside. Major improvements are reported to include new electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems, separate HVAC systems, water heaters, flooring, windows, insulation, structural framing, LVL beams, footings, and basement foundation work. The basement has undergone structural reinforcement and includes a shared washer and dryer for tenant use, along with additional storage potential. Significant exterior overgrowth and vegetation have been cleared, creating a generous outdoor area with potential for recreation, parking, fencing, or a future garage, subject to zoning and municipal approvals. Conveniently located with quick highway access, this substantially improved multifamily property offers flexibility, updated major systems, and strong potential for its next owner.
