Historic 1875 Eli Southward Building: This charming 3-unit attached duplex is ideal for owner-occupants or investors alike. Each unit features 1 bedroom and 1 bath, with leases running through 8/31/25. Unit 1 boasts a decorative fireplace and high ceilings, while Unit 2 includes a walk-in closet/office. Unit 3 is a bilevel space with newer hardwood floors and an exposed brick wall. All units access rear decks leading to a beautiful yard with a brick herringbone patio and formal garden. The property offers a walk-out basement with windows (previously living space) and sits on a parklike 2200+ SF lot, providing expansion opportunities. Recent updates include new front windows and paint (2019), roof (2014) basement concrete floor, and separate electric meters. Located just blocks from Airport Station for a 15 minute commute to City/Airport, and close to dining, parks, and grocery store. Great potential for condo conversion while preserving the character in the heart of Eagle Hill!
