Original details and architectural charm pair effortlessly with comfortable living spaces, while large windows bring in natural light and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout. The proportions of each unit live much larger than expected, making them ideal for both owner-occupants and long-term tenants alike. The property features two separate one-car garages along with convenient alley access, providing flexibility for parking, storage, or potential future use. The expansive backyard is a standout feature—offering a rare amount of outdoor space for a property of this kind and creating endless possibilities for entertaining, relaxing, or enhancing the property over time. This is a uniquely flexible opportunity that caters to a variety of buyers—rent out both units and enjoy strong income potential, live in one while renting the other, or get creative and transform the property into a stunning single-family residence that takes full advantage of the lot and location!
