About This Home

As of November 2020

There's a lot of personal property still in this duplex. A sky light may be the source of water damage in both apartments. The back apartment has a built-in wall air conditioner but it's not guaranteed. Steps from back up to front apartment look unsafe as do the steps going up. Agents: See Agent Remarks.
