It serves both the Investor or the Owner Occupant well. The home does require some TLC; however, the larger than average sized rooms & overall size of each unit compenstes for what cosmetic work is required to maximize the rental income potential. You will be hard pressed to find another two-family home with the interior space that this home offers. The first floor apartment is as spacious as a Single Family home with amenites found in a Single Family home such as a beautiful working wood burning fireplace in the living room. See the room sizes provided in the attachment to the the listing information. Each unit has separate entrances from the charming front porch. The second floor has the potential to be used as a 3/4 bedroom unit because the heated walk-up attic, entered into from the interior of the 2nd fl apt, has been finished adding two additional rooms. The final profitable & desirsble feature of this wonderful home is the three car garage spaces which consists of a one car garage under the home and a separate detached two car garage. The detached garage can be rented separately for someone looking for garage space only or included in the rental. The generously sized yard is completely fenced in. The large deck requires some but minimal repair. For the buyer looking for a spacious 2 family home with large rooms that will generate high demand & higher than average rental income, this is the house for you!
