About This Home

As of March 2012

Property is currently divided into 2 units, is rented and zoned as multi family. Would make a very nice owner occupied home, or could be converted back to single family if one wished. Very nice, steady income property, great for owner occupied downstairs or up, both units equally nice and spacious. Both have large living/dining areas, 2 bedrooms, nice kitchen, 1 bath, and each have little patio areas overlooking a lovely, private backyard. This is nicer than the average rental, very well kept up and tenants who keep it clean and neat. Sweet spot, on a quiet street.This is a wonderful opportunity to own a strong income generating property with an excellent rental history. The upstairs unit brings in $575.00 and the downstairs unit $700. Lots of improvements, and full list is available. Some include: drywall, electrical, heating plants and AC among other upgrades. Tenants in both units are responsible for utilities. Could easily be turned into a single family home.
