    Owned by the same family since 1966, this exceptionally well-maintained two-family home reflects decades of dedicated care on a quiet, low-traffic street – just minutes from shopping, restaurants, parks and everyday conveniences! The lower unit features three bedrooms w/gleaming original hardwood floors, a spacious living room, and a functional kitchen w/updated countertops, newer laminate flooring, pantry and garden window overlooking the backyard. The kitchen includes a refrigerator, gas stove and built-in microwave, plus additional cabinet and countertop space for added storage and everyday convenience. The bathroom is in pristine condition, retaining its original tile surround and tub, complemented by an updated toilet and vinyl replacement window. The upper unit offers two bedrooms w/exposed hardwood floors, a comfortable living room w/wall-to-wall carpeting over hardwood flooring, and an eat-in kitchen w/original wood cabinetry, pantry and kitchen appliances included. Generous storage w/a hallway coat/storage closet and a large in-unit storage closet w/potential for conversion to a third bedroom, plus scuttle access to the attic. The basement offers a solid poured concrete foundation and is partially finished w/glass block windows and built-in shelving. Separate utilities include two 100amp electrical services, two furnaces and two central air conditioning units (both approximately 2010 w/routine annual maintenance), two updated hot water tanks, and separate gas and electric meters. Outside, the home features a covered front entry w/rebuilt composite steps and vinyl railings, brick front w/vinyl siding, vinyl replacement windows, architectural roof, long concrete driveway leading to a detached two-bay garage w/automatic openers and newer garage roof (approx. 2 years). Mature landscaping, perennials and hardscaping enhance the curb appeal. A truly special property, this house reflects decades of thoughtful care and meticulous maintenance – the kind of pride of ownership that rarely becomes available these days! Whether you're looking to owner-occupy or invest, this is an excellent opportunity in a convenient location. Showings begin Sat, July 18th @ 9am.
