This classic solid brick 1926 vintage 2 flat has been restored to its original integrity and sits on a secluded area east of Dodge and located in the West Village Arts District. It is comprised of 2 separate units, each unit having 2 bedrooms/1 full bath. The first-floor owners unit features original solid wood doors, restored hardware, and plaster archways, with original maple floors. A west facing seasonal back porch provides additional living space to the primary bedroom. The classic design bodes well for either a single family home conversion or being utilized as a two unit apartment building. Flexibility allows you to decide what works best; test out being a landlord, while living on one floor, or rent them both out. Brand new sidewalks, lead to a bright and sunny landscaped front yard, and a rebuilt front porch. The previous owner updated much of the plumbing to copper, new kitchen cabinets, newer appliances and bathroom fixtures. The second floor features a new second floor flat roof that is ready to be finished with wood decking for use as an outdoor space. The basement offers a great space for a future family room, home office, or whatever pleases you, and has been recently painted along with all exterior windows. A two-car garage sits at the rear of the property on the alley, between the building and the enclosed yard with privacy fence. There is a mature Cedar tree in the yard,along with evergreens creating privacy on the south side of the lot.
