This 2-family home would be a great investment or owner occupied property ! The current owner has had it since the late 90"s ! Occupied downstairs with tenant that has been there for quite some time, and the upstairs has just become available for the first time in about 50 +/- years ! They definitely liked living here ! The roofing shingles are about only 15 +/- years old, both gas heating systems have been changed out, separate hot water tanks & separate circuit breaker panels ! Exterior is sided for low maintenance ! All the bigger items are there ! The first floor was remodeled awhile back with a newer kitchen & bathroom ! The home is located on a corner lot with the parking also on the side street area ! There are no houses across the way on Bay St, just an expansive view...this home is not crowded in like many...We are leaving the second floor vacant for a potential owner occupant purchaser ! Very easy to show ! The owner has had great success here...now it could be your turn !!
