Entire building recently updated with 100 amp electrical service. 2nd fl recently painted, re-glazed tile in bathroom for easy changing of decor, ceiling fan in both bedrooms, newer windows, updated kitchen as of 9/2010 w/frige. Washer & dryer located in garage for use. 1st fl has a long term tenant, updated kitchen in 2005 w/frig. Stackable washer & dryer inside of unit. Re-glazed tile for changing of decor in bath, newer windows. Heating for both units have been updated w/ Weil McClain efficient units. Tenants pay for own water, gas, electricity (thus low overhead for owner). Powder room in finished basement (can be used for entertaining or rented out as a 1 room efficiency) Proper zoning would be needed. Great investment for owner who decides to occupy property and live rent free, yet good investment for owner who decides to keep both tenants who desire to stay if possible. Both units scheduled for $50 rent increase in late 2011.
