Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This legal 2-unit residential income property offers 3,388 sq. ft. of finished living space across 1.75 stories. The home maintains original character, including wide floors and wood fireplaces, while featuring updates such as vinyl plank flooring, a kitchen island, a wine cooler, and first-floor laundry. The layout totals five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including one full and three three-quarter baths. Two separate workshop/storage areas add practical utility beyond the main living spaces.
Outside, the property sits on nearly 0.48 acres with a generously sized deck, full fencing, and garden space. There are two street entrances/exits and a paved driveway with plenty of parking for tenants, guests, or work vehicles. Nearby conveniences include the hospital, grocery stores, big-box hardware, and downtown shops in the Lakes Region.
The configuration supports an owner-occupant approach with an in-law suite already in place, while the second unit and the separate workshop/storage spaces can support income use as well. Any non-residential use would need to be evaluated under local requirements, but the property’s two-unit setup and flexible outbuilding/storage components make it a strong candidate for buyers seeking versatility.
