About this home
Price reduced!!! Motivated seller. Stately 2 family with accessory allowed. Grandfathered in for the original owner.

The first-floor unit features a living room, dining room, two bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, and one bathroom, with high ceilings and hardwood floors throughout. The second-floor unit offers two bedrooms, a living room, an eat-in kitchen, one bathroom, and an oversized hallway leading to an unfinished attic with four separate rooms. All levels feature high ceilings and oversized windows, creating a bright and spacious feel. The potential to expand into the third floor adds significant value and opportunity.
