This updated two-flat is set up for comfortable owner use and rental operation, with a spacious first-floor unit and a separate second-floor unit accessed by a separate entrance. The first floor includes an expanded kitchen with a large island, a new mudroom off the side entrance, 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors in the living areas, a laundry closet, three bedrooms, and a fully remodeled bathroom with a walk-in shower. Two versatile front rooms can serve as home offices, a playroom, or additional flex living space, and the living room is described as sun-filled. The second-floor unit is currently leased through September 2027 and includes an updated kitchen and bathroom, its own laundry room, and access to a private balcony.

A clean, dry basement provides abundant storage. The property also features extensive updates throughout both units and includes a detached two-car garage for added convenience.

With two well-defined units, each with its own laundry and separate access, this home fits buyers looking to occupy one level while holding the other for rental income under an existing lease term. The layout supports everyday functionality for tenants, including flexible front-room space on the first floor, while the detached garage and basement storage add practical value for daily living.
