Updated Duplex with Spacious Interiors and Great Potential This charming mostly brick duplex has been thoughtfully updated and is ready for its next owner. Both units have been freshly painted and feature brand-new flooring throughout, providing a bright and modern feel. The upstairs unit boasts two spacious walk-in closets, offering plenty of storage space and added convenience. The bathrooms in both units have been fully remodeled, featuring stylish new toilets, vanities, flooring, and sleek shower enclosures that elevate the space. Recent updates include new 6” gutters installed last year, which help with drainage and protect the property. The main floor unit has a brand-new furnace installed just last year, while the second-floor unit has a newer furnace that's only five years old, ensuring efficient heating. Additionally, the seller is offering a $6,000 buyer credit to update the electrical system in the main floor unit, allowing you to make the space your own with peace of mind. Off-street parking adds extra convenience, and the solid brick construction of the duplex ensures long-term durability and classic curb appeal. Whether you're looking to invest or live in one unit and rent the other, this property offers a fantastic opportunity. Don't miss out on this well-maintained duplex—schedule a tour today!

R-2A
Alternate Two-Family Residential District
The R-2A district is intended to provide for the protection of certain older areas of the community developed principally as single-family and two-family uses. Characteristics of the R-2A district are: smaller than average lot widths and area, established building lines much closer to the public right of way and required setback lines, and/or greater lot coverage than allowed in the more recent developing areas where such requirements can be provided. The R-2A district is intended to be located in those areas displaying one or more of the above characteristics. The purpose of this district is to stabilize and preserve the residential character of existing areas through the establishment of bulk regulations in conformity with existing conditions.
