Description:
Struggling with housing affordability? This could be the solution! Originally built as a single family home in 1920, but currently arranged as 3 units, so you can take over all the space, or rent some and enjoy the cash flow! Two apartments have great tenants who are moving this summer, so both the upstairs and downstairs will be available soon. Third unit known as "The Octopus Garden" is an Airbnb guest favorite so you could ride the wave of this popular short-term rental. An easy conversion back to single family would literally mean opening a couple of doors... then the main level would have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a mudroom, kitchen and living room... and upstairs would have a bright family room, larger kitchen, 1 bedroom and a full bathroom with claw foot tub and laundry. Don't need two kitchens? Remove one to create another bedroom, office or dining room. Need an in-law suite for guests or family? This has it. Work-from-home professional or small business owner? Zoning has many allowed uses, including office and retail. Recent energy audit + updated utilities: new 200 amp panel, new boiler, and central air on the first floor! Ask for the list of improvements, floor plans and videos. Beautifully renovated spaces, two new decks overlooking the deep backyard and gardens, plus a covered front porch. The 0.41 acre lot is very narrow, offering parking for 6+ cars with partial fences and a stone wall for boundaries. This is a rare and special opportunity!
