About This Home
Storybook duplex on an extra-deep lot, ready for its next chapter. Set on a tree-studded yard with plenty of level lawn, this side-by-side duplex offers two mirror-image homes with charming 1930s character, each with its own front entry, attached garage, and access to the expansive shared backyard. Inside, you’ll find sun-filled living and dining rooms with coved ceilings, arched doorways, and original wood trim, flowing into vintage kitchens that are surprisingly generous in workspace and storage. The bedrooms are quietly set back off a central hallway with hardwood floors, and the hall bath features classic tile and period details. Below the main level, an extensive basement/lower level runs the depth of the building, owner's unit has an additional bedroom, basement level also has laundry area, storage, and hobby space, with potential to re-imagine as workshop or bonus areas. Whether you update over time, live in one side and rent the other, or hold as a long-term investment, this duplex is a solid, character-rich property with excellent bones and room to add value: Multi-unit buildings: “Home Energy Score of [5] for [Unit 940], [7] for [Unit 942].”
