6 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ ACTIVE Status ⋅ 24193236 MLS

Strong two-family opportunity that works for owner-occupants and investors alike. Each unit offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, and the current owner has handled the big-ticket items already: newer roof, upgraded electrical panels, and a full conversion to high-efficiency natural gas for heat and hot water. The 2nd-floor unit is updated refreshed - freshly painted walls and cabinets, refinished floors, and an updated bathroom - ready for an owner to move in or a new tenant to lease. The 1st-floor unit is immaculate and fully updated with new floors, a new tile shower, and new windows, occupied by month-to-month tenants. Here's the upside: fair market rent is roughly $2,100 per unit, so there's meaningful room to grow income on both sides. Owner-occupy one unit and let the other help cover your mortgage, or rent both and capture the full spread. Additional features include off-street parking and a 2-car garage - store cars, set up a workshop, or lease it out for extra monthly income. Convenient access to public transportation adds to the appeal for tenants. A well-maintained, mechanically updated multi-family with real value-add potential in a convenient location. Bring your buyers - this one checks the boxes for both lifestyles.

Step outside to a private gated backyard - a peaceful retreat for morning coffee, weekend grilling, or letting the dog run free. This is a true cosmetic refresh play: paint, finishes, and personal touches will transform an already-solid home into something special.
