Built in 1935 with solid partial-block construction, this freshly painted property—inside and out—offers a rare blend of timeless character and modern updates. Whether you're looking to house hack, have a ground floor mother-in-law suite, add a turnkey rental to your portfolio, or invest in a potential Airbnb property, this historic gem is full of opportunity. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is undeniable. A long private driveway lined with historic-style lamp posts offers rare off-street parking and a welcome sense of privacy. The well-maintained front yard is beautifully landscaped, with a cozy patio area perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The charm of the original brickwork and thoughtful exterior details create a warm and inviting first impression. The upstairs unit is fully renovated and move-in ready. Wide plank flooring and original casement windows preserve the vintage feel while adding warmth and character to the bright, open living space. The updated kitchen features modern appliances and stylish finishes, while a sunroom with double-hung windows and a wainscoted ceiling offers the perfect spot for a reading nook, office, or guest space. The bedroom is comfortably sized, with generous storage and calming views among the treetops. The downstairs unit mirrors the upstairs layout and is full of potential. It includes a recently updated bathroom, its own covered front porch, and a private entrance. With separate electric meters and indoor laundry in both units, the setup is ideal for rental income, multigenerational living, or a flexible living arrangement. Whether used as a long-term rental or a short-term Airbnb, the possibilities are wide open. Additional features include full re-plumbing throughout, a roof replaced in 2013, and fresh interior and exterior paint in 2024. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to make this home comfortable, efficient, and ready for its next chapter.
