Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

505 and 507 Hanover Street offer two 2-bedroom, 1-bath residences that share a wall and use the same floor plan. Both sides have been renovated, including upgrades to underlying plumbing and mechanical systems. The property has been copper re-plumbed, fitted with new central heating, and includes tankless water heaters and dual-pane windows.

The work extends into the interiors: the kitchen in 505 was rebuilt with updated cabinetry, quartz countertops, subway tile to the ceiling, soft-close drawers, and recessed lighting with dimmers. Both bathrooms were taken down to the studs, and the home features LifeProof LVP flooring, along with new doors, fixtures, and baseboards. The layout supports a shared-wall duplex configuration while maintaining two distinct unit spaces.

The lot includes extra space that may accommodate an ADU, workshop, or garden, subject to buyer due diligence. One side is owner-occupied and the other is tenant-occupied. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence.
