Description

Don't be fooled by this building. There are two very large updated units. Second floor has just been updated, and first duplexes down to the basement. Huge primary suite on the second floor, with very generous room sizes. Tenants are in charge of their own utilities, except water. This is an oversized lot with a very large yard. Reasonably priced 2-unit that is very comfortable. Why rent when you can live here! First floor tenant would like to remain.
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. This description is from December 16, 2024
