Situated on a corner lot this duplex has been owner occupied for 40+ years. Built in 1912 as a duplex, each unit has its own front door and entryway. The sellers opened a wall between the units making it easy to share the space for their extended family. The interior has been freshly painted & the hardwood floors have been refinished throughout. The Upstairs unit features 3 bedrooms & one bath, formal dining room, living room & washer/dryer hookups. Downstairs features 2 bedrooms & 1 + bathrooms, living room, formal dining room & stackable washer/dryer appliances. Both kitchens have the original floorplan. They are a blank slate waiting for you to make them your own! This home has been completely fenced in which makes the front & side yards easy to enjoy for outdoor entertaining or just relaxing. There is a one car parking space behind the gate you can close at night. At the rear of the building are 2 doors. One opens to a partial basement & crawl space and the other opens to a hideaway office or a good room for storage. With tremendous potential, this property presents a great opportunity: a vacant duplex, flexible space and the fabulous neighborhood of the Elmwood!
