Since 2007 the roof has been replaced, deck re-built, some new fixtures and interior paint, bathroom flooring, new range, dishwasher, washer and dryer. Downstairs HVAC was replaced in 2013. Some windows for both units will be replaced with an offer acceptable to the seller. The downstairs unit is 1340 sq ft and currently rents for $1800 per month. Upstairs unit is 1061 sq ft and is also rented for $1800 per month. Upstairs lease ends July 31, 2015, downstairs lease ends February 28, 2015.
