The home has newer vinyl siding and insert replacement windows along with updated heating systems, hot water tanks,...Stunning corner lot with mature trees & hedges, spacious yard & patio, with private entrances and all separate utilities. Fantastic detached two car garage with newer doors and slate roof. Owner occupied for the last 49 years, this solid home was built in 1920 as a side by side two family. Original slate roof, hardwood floors, banisters, attic stairs, and bathroom tile work remain. The home has newer vinyl siding and insert replacement windows along with updated heating systems, hot water tanks, and updated owner unit kitchen. There is natural gas connection in the street and there is evidence of the home having natural gas hookups at one time. The units mirror one another and the hardwood floors continue under all the carpet. Laundry is located in the basements. The owner unit also has a wash sink and plenty of shelving. Individual bulkhead walkouts are in good condition. Wonderful opportunity for home ownership with rental income. The home needs some cosmetic work but well worth the investment. Located in the desirable 5th Ward neighborhood, gems such as this with cool different street addresses do not come along often. Close to Morton Park, Gooseberry Beach, Ocean Drive, Cliff Walk, and downtown shopping and restaurants but still very much located in a residential setting.
