This property has old world charm with all brick construction, curved brick steps leading to front wrap around porch, tall ceilings, pocket doors in first floor. The corner lot is lined with arborvitae for privacy and off the front porch, beautiful views of Neversink mountain. There are 3 residential units. The first floor unit has two bedrooms, lots of windows for natural light, corner block moldings around doors and windows, hardwood flooring, living room and extra large eat-in Kitchen. The bedrooms are very big and separated by pocket doors. The 2nd floor also has two spacious bedrooms, a living room, eat-in kitchen and a porch out the back of the home. The 3rd floor is a 1 bedroom apartment with living room and kitchen. The tenants have been here over 5 years, would love to stay and do pay their monthly rent on time. The roof was tin and was replaced with a lifetime asphalt dimensional shingle roof in 2013, the heater was replaced with an energy efficient heater in 2011, the porch is being repaired this week. This would be a great property to add to your portfolio.
