By far one of the nicest old duplexes I have ever listed! This building was built as a duplex in 1886. Both units have front and back entrances. Present owner then attached an oversize 2 car garage when he bought it. Tenants did not want pictures of their personal property, but the floor plans for each unit have been provided. Downstairs has a large 3 bedroom, 1 bath with a spacious living room open to a large eat in kitchen. The kitchen and bathroom have been modernized. Upstairs is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath unit with modern kitchen and bath also. Tons of storage in both units, but the basement also may offer an opportunity to add another apartment. Deep and dry, the basement has large windows, its own additional entrance and was plumbed for a bath at one time. There are 2 washers and dryers for the tenants to use in the basement. All utilities are split, 2 gas, water and electric services and 2 water heaters and furnaces. Downstairs tenant is month to month and would like to stay if you are an investor, upstairs tenant is packing to move, but this could be a great opportunity for an owner-occupied property.
