This property was built in 1902. The square footage is 1267. There are two units, each with 2 bedrooms and 1 updated bathroom. There is a possibility of a third floor unit. (New owner to check with zoning). The two car garage makes this property perfect for generating fantastic income as each unit can have a space in the shared garage or you can rent out the garage for extra income. The owner could live in one unit and rent out the other, or rent you both units. The vinyl siding is in great condition, the windows are as well. There are 3 different paved parking locations. Two of them on Tower St. The best driveway goes right to the two car garage. That entrance is the second right off of Thompson Ave, Westerly. This property sits high up on a hill and the gentle breeze constantly flows. It makes it feel open and fresh. The neighbors are friendly, respectful and quiet. Town is close by but far enough away to not be in the middle of it. The house is being sold as is.
