SOOOO much potential! This property is unique - there are two homes on one property. It's perfect for an investor or family in need of an in-law quarters. Either way, the back home brings in $1800/month to offset expenses. The back home consists of 2 one bedroom apartments on the 2nd floor and 4 garages on the 1st floor. Each apartment is rented - leases attached. The front home brings Victorian charm. Beautiful woodwork, grand porches and high ceilings create a soothing atmosphere. This single family home used to be a duplex with a 4 bedroom/1 bath home in the front and a 2 bedroom/1 bath home in the back. Check with Alburtis Borough if interested in returning it to 2. There is a huge attic and a full basement for storage. The fenced back yard is an oasis of blooms. Property being sold as-is. Run the numbers - this one is a must see.
