About this home
CONTRACTOR SPECIAL! Gut, rehab and either convert this legal single family house back into a 2-unit building or rehab it into a beautiful single family. On demand direct vent boiler from 2024 allows the chimney to be removed to open up the layout. Enclosed unheated back decks could be added to living space in both units? Unenclosed rear decks could remain outdoor space and have the 2nd egress from the upstairs unit. Bring your vision and your contractors. Roof age estimated as 2019. Long form permit history attached.
