Welcome to this rare opportunity in a downtown historic neighborhood--two detached homes on one lot, offering endless flexibility for living, investing, or operating a small business (per zoning). The main house features one bedroom and one bathroom, along with two versatile flex rooms that can serve as an office, studio, or guest space. It includes a washer hookup in the laundry room, a secluded private patio tucked behind the home, a welcoming covered front porch, and zoned AC and heat for year-round comfort.The detached guest house offers its own one bedroom/ one bathroom, central AC with forced-air heating, and a washer hookup conveniently located on the covered back porch. Both homes have been freshly painted on the exterior and benefit from updated sewer and water lines, creating peace of mind for future maintenance.
A shared backyard sits between the homes, perfect for outdoor enjoyment or creating separate private areas. Parking is on-street, consistent with the character of historic urban living.
This property's location, flexibility, and dual-home setup make it ideal as a multi-generational living space, long-term rental, or a charming small business site in the heart of downtown.
