FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME....AND A LIFESTYLE TOO!!! This duplex is UNBELIEVABLE! Both units have been completely renovated TO THE MAX! (downstairs 2015/upstairs 2022). You won't believe your eyes! Live in one unit and rent out the other....or do what the seller did...he rented the downstairs to a family member and he lived in the upstairs unit. The other option is to rent out both apartments for lots of extra income and very little maintenance . The front porch w with brick wall is great for relaxing at the end of the day. The inviting steel door, painted in blue, with a letter slot ,opens to the hallway. To the left is the 1st floor unit. Unit #2 is up the steps behind the 2nd blue steel door at the end of the hall. Let's visit apartment #1. Fabulous wide-with cherry wood flooring, a LR that boasts a CF, rolled mesh shades on the two long windows to give privacy AND to let the sunlight in, light grey walls original brick accent wall for your TV..., with a built-in electric fireplace as well! So city townhouse style! Check out the kitchen...granite counter tops, half wall (with pendant lights above0 separating the spaces, clear glass tile backsplash, white cabinetry & appliances,--gas stove with stainless steel shelf overhead, stainless sink a fridge and a microwave. Proceed through to the bedroom and bath at the back half of the home. The bath shows off a new deep tub/shower, white vanity sink with mirror/medicine cabinet and modern light bar just above, white tile, rainshower and an elongated toilet with gorgeous glass & stone trim. The BR has the same hardwoods as the LR, as well as a double mirrored closet. Another blue door, with wrought iron storm door and an awning overhang, leads out to the long, private, fenced back yard with cement patio. If you or your tenant's hobby is gardening, this is a perfect spot for that...or maybe you can set up a table and umbrella there, and invite some company over! Upstairs--some more surprises! In this apartment, the front room has stained floors, grey walls, a cherry CF, a covered radiator, 2 single windows and six paneled doors There is an "original", handcrafted piece built into the wall, with 2 shelves, 2 drawers, and 2 open spaces. You or your tenants can decide how to utilize this space. The large kitchen comes complete with 4 recessed lights, a modern CF, a peninsula with quartz countertop, soft close grey cabinets & drawers, a DW, a window over to the left of the sink, a gooseneck faucet, a pantry, black and s/s gas stove with a microwave above, and white subway tile backsplash. It doesn't feel like an apartment kitchen, because of it's size! The prefab tile-look shower surround in the bath has been upgraded. It even has nooks for the soap and shampoo containers. The round mirror sits right above the pedestal sink. The back room has a double door closet and a little smaller built-in, original piece, similar to the one in the front room, plus a CF. The lower level is quite large---unfinished but clean, with parged walls, glass block windows, new PVC pipes, Lennox gas heater and two 40 gallon hot water heaters...a Bradford White Defender (1/22) for the 2nd floor and a Rheem for the 1st floor. Electric is separate as well. The box for the 2nd floor unit is newer than the other one. Transportation is easily accessible from this place. Bus lines and trolley lines are plentiful. There is tons of shopping and take out places too! FYI...The owner is deceased, therefore the Sellers disclosures are blank, and there is little expense history because it was not operated as a regular duplex. The downstairs did rent for $900.00 recently. There's LOTS TO LIKE here1 Buy now. Gloat later! Don't let this one get away!
