Located in fabulous Water Hill and just 4 1/2 blocks to downtown Ann Arbor, this solid, roomy turn-of-the-century farmhouse is currently set up as a duplex with 1 - 2 bedrooms (one does not have a closet) on the ground floor unit and 2-3 bedrooms up (one also does not have a closet). Purchase and keep as an investment source, or very easily convert it back to a single family home by opening up the stairwell. The deep lot is large enough to support a sizable addition or if converted to single family, a second attached home making this a tremendous development opportunity. The first floor bathroom has been recently remodeled. All bedrooms are much larger than often seen in homes of this era. Original wide plank hardwood floors throughout much of the first floor. Driveway can be added off of alley behind the house. Construction activity can use alley access as well. See MLS #3244198 for more rental information.
