This is a rare opportunity to own a substantial 3,655 square foot brick home offering space, flexibility, and income-producing potential all in one property. With four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms in the main residence, this home provides room to grow, entertain, and create lasting value.
Inside, you’ll find a large living room and formal dining room designed to accommodate both everyday living and special gatherings. Built-in bookcases add character and functionality, while tray ceilings enhance the architectural detail. A combination of wood, ceramic/porcelain tile, and carpet flooring provides a blend of style and durability throughout the home. Central air and heat ensure year-round comfort.
One of the standout features of this property is the separate one-bedroom open-concept apartment. This additional living space offers flexibility for extended family, guests, private workspace, or rental income. Investors will immediately recognize the dual-living potential and opportunity for strong cash flow. Owner-occupants can offset their mortgage with rental income or create a multi-generational living arrangement.
The exterior offers just as much appeal. Situated on a huge yard, there is ample space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, recreation, or future additions. A workshop with garage and storage space provides room for tools, equipment, hobbies, or business use. The solid brick construction adds durability and long-term value.
This property is open and welcoming to first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and investors alike. Down payment assistance programs and grant opportunities may be available for qualified buyers, making homeownership more accessible. Investors seeking rental income, short-term rental potential, or multi-unit flexibility should take notice.
