It would make a great investment property or live in one and rent the other out. It can also be easily converted into a single family by adding a door at the base of the stairs to the second floor.

The building retains some of the original features such as lofty ceilings, thick walls, no basement, and oversized windows and doors. There is a townhouse on one side of the property and a historic church, converted to apartments, on the other with a gap in between. The two units are each over 1,000 square feet and have outdoor spaces. The first floor can either be used as a one-bedroom plus den or two bedrooms, each with sliding glass doors to the landscaped patio. This unit has a large bathroom and full-size washer/dryer. The great room includes a large living room with faux fireplace, large storeroom closet, open-plan kitchen, and dining area. The second-floor unit has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
