Here is a rare opportunity to own a truly charming duplex within the historic Ellwanger-Barry/Highland Park Neighborhood. This property has had only one owner for the last 20 years and it shows! Numerous improvements including new front porch pillars, railings, steps and latticework. All the legacy-wood windows have been fully restored with steel jams and newer storm windows. Tear-off roof: 2015; New driveway: 2019; High-efficiency furnaces installed for both apartments; Water heaters replaced in 2023. The second floor apartment is filled with natural woodwork features, handcrafted specifically for the owner. Both apartments have historic porch-planking pine floors. This is truly a turnkey property! Directly across the street from Highland Hospital, these apartments are always rented with little effort for finding good tenants. Out of respect for the current tenants, showings are delayed until noon on Wednesday, September 27th. Delayed negotiations until Friday, September 29th. All offers must be received by our office no later than 5PM on 09/29/2023.

Zoning
R-1
Low-Density Residential District
The R-1 Low-Density Residential District is intended to maintain residential areas at relatively low densities. The R-1 District is a distinct urban area that is characterized predominantly by owner-occupied, single-family detached and attached homes but often contains a diverse mix of other preexisting higher-density residential uses. Each R-1 neighborhood is unique in character, composition and scale. The district requirements are intended to preserve and promote neighborhoods characterized by unobstructed front yards and pedestrian-scale streetscapes and to protect against undesirable uses and residential conversions.
