About This Home

As of December 2024

Welcome to an amazing treasure! A cleverly executed, legal duplex that can nonetheless still function as a single-family residence, this property features a "Main House" with covered & side porches, refinished original wood floors, darling open arch kitchen nook along with 3BR and 2BA on one level! Full walk-out basement underneath provides the potential for an additional unit (or expansion of main house living space?) Attached (w/one shared wall) is the cozy 1BR/1BA "Cottage" featuring its own front porch, gas burning fireplace, large open kitchen and deep soaking tub - also all on one level! This adjacent setup works well for extended family, guests, OR as a furnished short-term rental! Current owners have made it an income-generator consistently at $2300/mo. Separate utilities, meters and addresses all in place. Note: 2 double tuck-under garages beneath the Cottage have been converted into a large workshop, wine room and storage; at least one double garage c/b easily converted back. A circular driveway offers plenty of parking and easy access in and out for both sides. The close-in location, easy commute, great schools, flexible floorplan, continued rental income and room for future expansion presented by this duplex offer a unique opportunity to create a residence that can perfectly suit your own lifestyle while also potentially providing a great investment opportunity.
