Just a 10 minute walk to vibrant Park Street, or the the tranquil beach, this 5 bedroom house can be used a single family home or a duplex. Tons of light, ten foot ceilings, crown moulding, and a cast iron fireplace make the front of the house both stately and warm. Both bathrooms have been updated as was the kitchen. Last year new white oak hardwood floors were installed throughout the upper level with a layer of sound insulation. Downstairs the full kitchen was made into a kitchenette when the gas stove was removed. The refrigerator, sink and other small appliances are still there, with a two burner electric stove top. The big back yard has a little bit of everything: lawn, growing beds, citrus trees, some hardscape, a large shed, and a permitted cottage that can be your home office, or workshop. The backyard is truly magical, and a side patio is easily accessible through the downstairs door. The house has been lived in as a single family home and as two units with the downstairs a very successful short term rental. Great for a big family, multi generational living, or live in part and use the other for income. Lots of options in this beautiful and ideally located home.
