Where historic charm, thoughtful design, and BUILT-IN RENTAL INCOME come together in one of Downtown Johnstown's most unique properties. Set on a rare .24-acre lot, this property offers exceptional versatility with three separate living spaces- a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom main home, plus two additional units tucked privately toward the back: a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home and a studio, together generating $1,600 per month in income. The renovation of the main home was carefully curated and goes far beyond surface-level updates, blending original character with modern comfort. The layout has been thoughtfully redesigned to enhance flow, highlighted by an expanded primary suite and extensive upgrades throughout. Improvements include new flooring, interior and exterior paint, doors, main-level windows, and appliances less than two years old. Major system updates include a new Class 4 roof, furnace, water heater, sump pump, and garage doors. A newly installed fence creates separation and privacy between the main home and rental units. Located just moments from downtown Johnstown, enjoy walkable access to shops, restaurants, parks, the grocery store, gym, and community events. The property is also within the Town of Johnstown's Mixed-Use Downtown zoning district, offering potential for business or commercial use. Buyers should review the Land Use Table in the supplements and verify all uses and permitting with the Town. With refined updates, preserved charm, built-in income, and potential zoning flexibility, this is a rare opportunity to own in the heart of downtown.
