Nestled in the heart of the Adirondack village of Elizabethtown, the county seat of Essex, this beautifully updated two-unit property offers a rare combination of income potential, lifestyle appeal, and natural beauty. Whether you're an investor seeking a turnkey opportunity, a buyer looking to live in one unit and offset costs with the other, or someone looking to combine both floors into a single residence home, this property delivers! The first-floor residence has an open living space, a full bathroom, a well-appointed kitchen, and warm hardwood floors bathed in natural light. The second floor currently has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and kitchen. Recent updates by the current owner elevate the property significantly -- including fresh exterior paint, updated interior paint upstairs, new first-floor appliances, basement stairway paneling, thoughtful landscaping, and a newly added carport for convenient covered parking. Step outside to your back yard and enjoy direct access to the Bouquet River via your own steps down to 73 feet river frontage -- an idyllic setting for relaxing or simply taking in the sounds of the water. The classic covered front porch invites you to slow down and soak in everything the Adirondacks have to offer.
Situated just a stone's throw from downtown Elizabethtown's shops, dining, and community events, and within easy reach of world-class hiking, fishing, and skiing, this property places you at the center of four-season Adirondack living. Furnishings negotiable.
