    Charming Westside Mount Vernon 3-bedroom, 2-bath property tucked at the end of a quiet dead-end street, with expansive westerly views, beautiful sunsets over surrounding farm fields, and access from both N Barker St and N Wall St. Currently configured as an upstairs 2 bed/1 bath and downstairs 1 bed/1(.75) bath duplex with separately metered gas and electricity, this flexible property offers multiple ways to live or invest. With the swing of a door, it can function as a single-family home or continue offering multifamily flexibility. Ideal for house hacking, extended living, rental income potential, or enjoying the entire home yourself. Recent improvements include complete electrical rewiring with new electrical service entrances, new flooring throughout much of the home, a new upstairs kitchen and bathroom, new refrigerators, washer/dryer, interior and exterior paint, and more. Roof replaced in 2016. Enjoy a private, rural feel while still being close to town. Downtown Mount Vernon is just a 15-minute walk away, with groceries at the Co-op, restaurants, shops, and local amenities nearby. Even closer are public river and fishing access at Young’s Bar and 54-acre Edgewater Park, featuring an 18-hole disc golf course, playground, playfields, and concrete boat launch. A rare mix of flexibility, location, views, updates, and lifestyle. Come see it for yourself. Use the home’s alternate address, 524 N Wall St, for access.
