Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This contractor special is currently a legal single-family home but is still set up and functioning as a two-family arrangement, with two units and separate entrances. Each unit includes a kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, living room space, and its own entry. The property presents an opportunity to either convert back to a two-unit building or further rehab it as a single-family residence.
Updates noted include an on-demand direct vent boiler installed in 2024, with the potential to remove the chimney to open up the interior layout. The roof age is estimated to be from 2019. The long form permit history is available, and additional deck options are discussed, including enclosed unheated back decks or retaining unenclosed rear decks with a second egress for the upstairs unit.
All work is expected to be driven by the buyer’s vision and contractors, and interested parties should review the attached long form permit history for the most accurate conversion and rehab path.
