One-of-a-kind home! RARE, UPDATED, INCOME PRODUCING duplex located on one of Downtown's most sought after streets!! This Colonial Revival home (the Josephine Disosway Duplex) was originally built around 1904 as a hotel/home, converted to its present form around 1920 and then stayed in the Disosway family until the 1970's. Each residence of this fabulous home boasts 3 spacious bedrooms (including master suite), 2 1/2 baths, updated kitchen, tons of entertainment space including dining room, living room AND family room, a gigantic unfinished attic (658 sq ft) and so much more. You will be delighted by the welcoming front porch showcasing the home's gabled entry with high ceilings, pretty moldings, light filled rooms and classic historic features combined with fun modern finishes. Said to have been a speakeasy during Prohibition, this home has a ''secret'' basement that appears to have been a usable room at some point. Fully fenced back yards with decks are your private oases for relaxing or enjoying time with others. Live in one residence and rent the other, enjoy the income from both residences, or keep both for yourself and your friends and family. So many options!! Nestled only a few blocks from everything Downtown has to offer, including entertainment, dining and the riverfront, and a short distance from neighboring beaches - do not miss the opportunity to own this extraordinary home! Tenants rights on one residence until June, 2025. Between the two residences, the income is almost $7000/month currently with potential for much more profit! Priced at appraised value.
