Property Description

Opportunity awaits with this character-filled duplex offering a unique combination of move-in-ready living space and significant renovation potential. The owner's side showcases the home's historic charm with soaring 14ft ceilings, hardwood floors, decorative molding, exposed brick, original woodwork, large windows, and beautiful architectural details throughout. The kitchen features wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and a center island with additional workspace and seating. Spacious rooms and distinctive details—including transom windows, original wood doors and trim, and multiple fireplaces—give the home the charm that's hard to find in newer construction. The second unit is in need of a complete renovation, allowing the next owner to redesign and finish the space to their own specifications. Whether you're an investor looking for a value-add project or an owner-occupant interested in living on one side while renovating the other, the property offers several possibilities. Outside, the fenced backyard provides plenty of usable space beneath mature shade trees, along with a detached storage shed. This property offers significant potential but will require additional investment. Buyers should be aware of known foundation separation, no HVAC units currently serving the main house (though it's set up for them), and the extensive renovation needed in the second unit. The property has been priced accordingly. With its generous proportions, original character, and substantial upside, this duplex is best suited for a buyer who sees the potential and is ready to bring the home back to life!
