This home doesn't fit the mold. It consists of two, for now, separate units. One is a 700 square foot home with 1.5 baths, a large living room with fireplace, second floor bath and office space with walk-in closet, plus 3rd floor bedroom. The second space consists of a 300 sq. ft. apartment with large laundry room. Both have 11' x 15' yards. There is also a small garage, two unfinished basements, and a tiny attic..
It's the last "normal" house on a street of million-dollar homes.
When it was renovated, it was designed so that separate units can be combined to create one 1200 sq. ft home consisting of 2 bedrooms, each with its own bath, walk-in closet and office space.
Actually, this is a good investment property. Tear down and build a million-plus townhouse.
