Property Description
Strategically located just steps away from public transportation, this home offers easy access to a vibrant strip mall featuring a diverse range of shopping, dining, and essential services, including a convenient laundromat. The proximity to a variety of amenities significantly enhances the overall living experience, ensuring that daily necessities are always within reach.
While the property is not legally zoned as a duplex, it has been thoughtfully designed to function as two distinct and fully separate units, each equipped with its own rental license. The first-floor unit boasts a dedicated private entrance that opens into a spacious living room—an inviting area for relaxation and entertainment. This unit also features a cozy bedroom and a well-appointed eat-in kitchen, perfect for family gatherings or entertaining friends, along with a conveniently located bathroom. Step outside onto the charming deck that overlooks a sprawling backyard—an ideal haven for outdoor activities, gardening, or simply unwinding in nature's tranquility. The clean, spacious basement enhances the property's functionality, offering ample storage solutions while housing two heating systems—one of which was installed in 2022—and two hot water tanks. Separate gas and electricity meters for each unit ensure efficient energy usage, while a robust 200-AMP power supply, with 100-AMP allocated per unit, provides ample capacity for future upgrades or enhancements.
Ascending to the second floor, you will find its own private entrance leading to a generously sized eat-in kitchen that invites culinary creativity. This unit features a well-designed layout with a bathroom and two spacious bedrooms. The first bedroom measures 152 x 101 inches, providing ample closet space. The front bedroom, larger at 167 x 154 inches, offers a spacious closet and a comfortable retreat. Continuing to the third floor, two additional oversized bedrooms await, with the front bedroom measuring 167 x 162 inches and featuring double doors along with a convenient hallway closet. The rear bedroom, measuring 102 x 165 inches, accommodates even the largest bedroom sets, thereby enhancing the flexibility of this space for family use, guests, or potential rental opportunities. Three of the bedrooms are thoughtfully equipped with ceiling fans to promote airflow and comfort throughout the home. Stylish laminate flooring flows seamlessly throughout the house, beautifully complementing the kitchens, while elegant ceramic tiles adorn both bathrooms, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of the property.
This unique residence is more than just a house; it represents a rare opportunity for comfortable living, paired with the potential for a significant source of income. Don't miss your chance to invest in this versatile property, which perfectly balances luxury and practicality, creating an ideal setting for both personal enjoyment and financial opportunity.
