Great natural light throughoutHardwood floorsFabulous screened in porchParking on the street

Fabulous turn of the century bungalow located in the Lucas Street Conservation District. Well maintained up/down duplex that is fully rented through July 2027. Super cute main floor unit has hardwood floors, 3 bedrooms, 1 bath and fabulous screened in porch. Great natural light throughout. The fireplace in the livingroom has never been used by the tenant and not warranted by the estate. Sweet built-in cabinets appropriate to the era in the hallway between the bedrooms. The quaint kitchen hasample storage and leads to the basement with storage and laundry. The lower level unit is accessible from the rear entry and has been occupied by the same tenant for over 20 years. Large back yard with great garden spaces. There is parking in the back off the alley and parking on the street. Easy access to downtown and the university. Just blocks from bus stop.
