Description

Property has been rented as an upstairs/downstairs duplex for many years in the past but most recently was rented to 4 BSU students for $1,250 per month for the last 3 years. The third unit is not legal and although a prior owner of the property used the 3rd unit (actually a separate storage unit only now despite having bathroom and kitchen-all utilities to separate 3rd unit disconnected) for income but the present owner has never attempted to do so. The city allows use as a duplex but NOT as a triplex.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "My kids were grown when we moved here so I’m not intimately familiar with considerations for children… there are a few streets where traffic is heavy and fast, as well as a few open canals that could be dangerous. I would be very cognizant of these hazards if I had small children and I was looking for a home—find the smaller/quieter streets that are near the open spaces. "

    "I live in this area because of the proximity to BSU, Shopping, Nightlife, and Restaurants. There are some really cute areas on the Depot Bench. Lots of older homes are being bought by open-minded, artistic types of people. 5 min walk to BSU, 5 min bike ride to downtown. Love it!"
