Both units have been nicely updated with LVP flooring throughout, creating a clean, modern feel. Major improvements are already in place, including new siding, fascia, soffit, windows, updated electrical, and a new roof installed in 2026 on both the house and detached two-stall garage. Also new in 2026, mini-split systems have been installed in both units, providing high-efficiency heating and cooling. This all-electric property has dual electric meters. One unit includes a stove & microwave. Laundromat across the street.
