If you feel a loving feeling when you first see the premium rental potential for this property, the moment that you see the beauty of this property in person provides a truly unique opportunity: The opportunity to experience love at first sight - twice! This massive two-unit building is located on a corner lot and features elegant landscaping that demands the attention and smile of all that pass by. As you walk onto the driveway and see the two-car garage that provides sheltered parking for each unit, you start to realize that it is not just premium appliances and large living spaces that allow owners of the property to charge premium rents. Each unit gives occupants its own version of the truly unique tenant experience that this property offers. These unique tenant experiences have become the cornerstone of this property by ensuring each unit is consistently setup to be a premium product that cannot be touched by competition.


Through the private entrance to the upper unit that is tucked away in the back corner of the driveway you'll be greeted by new carpet on your journey up the stairs and into the unit. There are two spacious bedrooms and a nicely-finished bathroom that may catch your eye, but all parties are strongly encouraged to pass through the kitchen into the spacious lounge area to experience the stunning view of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod from the the first window on your right. Do not let this view in the distance distract you from the views of the fresh shingles on the lower roof of the house and garage; each were completely rebuilt in 2021. Though it would be a shame to break up the beautiful lounge, whose large windows cover all 3 exterior walls & pull in every last drop of natural light, there may be a value-add opportunity for the creative individual that borrows some of this space to add a 3rd bedroom to the unit.

Some premium features will stand out at first glance when you make your way around the upper unit, including a stainless steel fridge in the kitchen, front-loading Samsung washer & dryer in the bathroom, and new carpet & vinyl flooring throughout. However, other features may be less apparent. The superior quality of the insulation in the walls and attic are less noticeable to the naked eye - though it can easily be felt in the coziness that the unit provides tenants as it holds in the electric heat on cold winter days. The double glazed windows (that offer easy cleaning access) have the potential to be overlooked by anyone that takes the time to get lost in the spectacular views that each window has to offer.

Once you're back outside, getting to the rear entrance of the lower unit is only a few steps across the concrete. However, we strongly consider passing this entrance to experience the journey along the sidewalk on your way to the front porch entrance. The sights and smells given by the flowers that welcome you just before you walk up the front porch steps gives greeting unlike many others. Inside the lower unit, crisp tile flooring, a stainless steel refrigerator, stainless steel range, stainless steel dishwasher, and front-loading Samsung washer & dryer highlight the list of upgrades that have been carefully selected to enhance the living experience without overpowering the historic charm given by the hardwoods and natural wood trim.

Finally, the large, dry basement provides a massive storage space for both tenants - with direct access from the lower unit & exterior access for the upper unit. A high efficiency furnace and water heater that are still in the first half of their life expectancy give the buyer a significant opportunity to earn income from the property for many years without major CapEx expenses.

The property also provides the buyer the opportunity to maximize rents as they see fit when the lower unit tenant vacates on 9/1, and gives house hackers the difficult decision of which beautiful unit to occupy. Water and electricity are metered separately for each unit, and the upper unit has electric heat. Current rental projections from the property manager are $1,250 for the lower unit and $1,150 for the upper unit. This opportunity will not last long. Schedule a tour of the property and let yourself experience the feeling of falling in love at first sight - twice - before the feeling that the heartbreak of missing out on this opportunity finds you instead!
