1711 N 5th St, Grand Forks, ND 58203

This unique property is a large multi-level home located in peaceful Riverside Addition. It has the privacy of a border of lilac bushes on the north boundary with open lots owned by HOE, so it's the last house on this dead-end street. The back side of the lot by the alley has a 24 x 62 ft garage divided into an over-sized double garage with 2 overhead doors & a shop area that is partly insulated with a furnace; plus 2 single stall units. There is ample parking space on the driveway and along the north edge of the property and parking along the alley, and off-street parking. This 3832 sq ft home can be used as a large one family home, or for 2 or 3 generations of family living together yet being able to be separated by the levels, or as a home and rent 1 or 2 of the units to help pay the mortgage as former owners had done. If your interest is in investment/rental property, it was built as a triplex and could be converted into 4 rentals. We are currently using it as a single family home and did have 3 generations living here for awhile, and also used space to operate a home-based business. It is designed to fit almost any living situation! We have really enjoyed the privacy of this property and all the room and the many purposes that have worked out for us while living in this home. We are close to Riverside Park and the Greenway biking/walking path that we use often. Each of the 3 living areas has 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, and the kitchen and living room. The main house on the south side of the building is where the previous owners lived. It has a fireplace and a large deck facing the back yard. We put in an above-counter microwave and a new sink/faucet in the kitchen, and also a new toilet in the bathroom. We added another new wall air conditioner in the living room this summer. Also some ceiling fans throughout. The upper unit also has a deck overlooking the back yard, and the ground level unit has an open porch on its back entry. We put new bathrooms in these 2 north side units, new kitchen faucets, and laminate flooring in the kitchen, hallway, & living room of the upper unit.. There is a lower level which also has a 4th bathroom with a large shower and new toilet installed this summer. It has an adjoining room for a hot tub/sauna that we were using for storage. There is also another large storage room with a built-in closet of shelves along one wall, and another room with a walk-in closet that was used as an extra bedroom. This level has a large family room or office area and the laundry room is downstairs also. We replaced 2 doors/storms, and the 7 windows on the front of the house & 2 on the back with Marvin Infinity sliders. There are 4 wall unit air conditioners that work well for cooling. The heat is a gas boiler furnace with baseboard radiators. The back yard is fenced with a tall shade tree in the center, and an in-ground pool with surrounding patio area & fire pit. The pool liner was ruined these past 2 winters and needs replacing. If the pool is not wanted, it could be filled in for a garden or playground area or whatever. The listing price allows for this so the new owners can make the choice. This would also make a nice rental property. It has separate entries in the back with keypad locks (also on the walk-in garage door}; the front entrances have security doors entering into a large hallway/stairway. The lower level does connect to the main house unit with a spiral staircase and through the common hallway stairs. However, it can be closed off for privacy, or it could be used/rented with another unit, or with some adjustments it could be made into a 4th rental unit. If interested, we can arrange a time to take a look and see if you would want to negotiate an offer. Due to the pandemic, we also require face masks, and we appreciate limiting your group to 2 or 3 adults for an initial showing. Text or call Dusty to schedule an appointment and/or for more information. Thanks!
