The property is in move-in ready condition with several significant updates including fresh interior and exterior paint, dual-pane windows, and recessed lighting. The kitchens feature stainless steel appliances and updated flooring, while the living areas retain well-maintained original hardwood floors. Although the structure was built in 1925, the recent refreshments and functional systems align with the 'good' criteria for a well-maintained, updated vintage home.
Delivered completely vacant, this duplex offers an exceptional opportunity for 'house hacking' where an owner can occupy one unit while renting the other, or for an investor to immediately secure market-rate tenants.
The unique end-to-end configuration with separate entries and individual garages on opposite sides of the property provides a level of privacy and autonomy similar to two detached single-family homes.
The property is move-in ready with fresh interior and exterior paint, updated dual-pane windows, stainless steel appliances, and modern kitchen upgrades, minimizing immediate post-purchase capital expenditures.
As a 1925 structure, the property may require specialized maintenance or future upgrades to century-old systems such as plumbing and electrical that are common in homes of this era.
The assigned public schools have ratings ranging from 4 to 5, which may be a consideration for families prioritizing high-performing educational districts.
