Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This well-maintained classic two-family residence includes a first-floor unit with a wide foyer and coat closet, a living room opening to a dining room, an eat-in kitchen, and access to a rear porch and backyard. The unit also features two bedrooms separated by a full bath. The upper unit occupies two levels, with living and dining areas, an eat-in kitchen, a full bath, two bedrooms, and front and rear porches on the first level, plus two additional large rooms on the top floor that can be used as bedrooms or family rooms.

Separate stairwells lead from each unit to the basement, where each unit has its own systems and laundry area. Both units are currently vacant and described as in rentable condition, with updates potentially adding value for an owner-occupant or landlord.
