About This Home

As of May 2022

This large side by side duplex property is a fantastic opportunity! Owner occupant could live in one 3 bedroom unit and rent out the other 3 bedroom unit. Or an investor will see the great potential this 2 unit has to offer. Solid brick and block construction with off street parking for 2 -3 cars. Directly across from the Pendora Park. Unit 1 (right side entrance) is a mirror image layout of unit 2. Large shady patio area and also a covered balcony that is accessed by both units. Large recreation room has washer and dryer and a half bath. Utility room is a great work shop space. The oil burner has just been serviced recently. Some work needs to be done and perhaps some updating but total of 4896 square footage of a 2 unit living space is quite unheard of today. There is only 1 heating system with 2 zones, 2 thermostats. Rubber roof was repaired/ patched and ceilings show damage from prior leaks. A very unique property that is urban and close to all conveniences.
