    Overview

    This solid, family-owned brick two-flat has been maintained for more than 50 years and features vintage character with practical modern upgrades. Both units include hardwood floors throughout, with generous living areas that feature a bright sunroom and a living room with a vintage fireplace. Each unit also offers a separate dining room, eat-in kitchen, and deep pantry storage to support everyday living and hosting. The first-floor kitchen and bathroom were completely renovated within the last few years, and the first-floor unit provides direct access to the basement, creating a potential layout option for a duplex-down conversion. The full unfinished basement spans the entire length of the building and can be used for additional storage or future improvement.

    The property includes outdoor space with a sized backyard for relaxing or entertaining. Recent improvements include a rebuilt back porch in 2018, a 75-gallon hot water tank replacement in 2023, and professional annual boiler servicing. The property is being sold as-is.

    For buyers seeking a long-maintained income property, the combination of separate unit living spaces, thoughtful in-unit storage, and a full basement makes this building suitable for a variety of occupancy plans. The direct basement access from the first-floor unit may appeal to owners looking for flexibility in how the space is ultimately configured, subject to the buyer’s renovation plans and due diligence.
