The elegant formal dining room is enhanced by raised paneling and a striking stained-glass window, while the large eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, recessed lighting, and an oversized window that fills the room with natural light. Two spacious bedrooms include one with access to a private back porch overlooking the yard, plus a full bath. The upper unit mirrors the beauty below, with hardwood floors and original detailing throughout. The inviting living room opens to a balcony overlooking this peaceful tree-lined street. A formal dining room with stained glass, a sunlit eat-in kitchen, two large bedrooms, and a full bath complete the space. A walk-up, refinishable attic offers incredible potential for additional living area. Each unit includes its own appliances, plus separate washers and dryers in the full basement. Outside, enjoy a covered front porch, concrete patio, 2.5-car garage with electric, double-wide driveway, and manicured landscaping. Major updates include central A/C in both units (2025), hot water tanks (2024), one newer furnace (2024), newer sump pump, and brand-new copper plumbing. This property is perfect for an owner-occupant or investor, offering strong income potential—and with tax credit opportunities available to homeowners in this historic district, the appeal is even greater.
