Property Description


0.00 Acres Lot
Built in 1928
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

Wonderfully maintained two unit brick building, with a brick two car garage. Each unit has two bedrooms and one full bathroom, an eat in kitchen, and a nice sized living room. Both units are vacant, and have been updated with new paint, flooring, and carpeting. There's an additional full bath in the basement, along with the washer and dryer. The building has newer windows, the roof was done in 2018, the boiler was replaced in 2019, and the water heater in 2024. The electric has been updated, with modern breaker boxes as well. All appliances will stay, and there's a huge amount of storage space, both in the basement and the attic. The well maintained yard has some landscaping, and the backyard is perfect for cookouts or just relaxing. The garage has two new doors, and power openers as well. Live in one unit and rent out the other, or rent out both units. This building is close to a local college, and would make a great rental.
