This semi-detached twin has been legally rezoned to multi-family 2-unit since 1951 and is the perfect opportunity for a flip or rental. The building spans approximately 1,555 square feet with a large unfinished basement with rear egress, which can potentially be converted into a third unit. Bottom unit is 2 beds / 1 bath with rear yard access and the top unit is 2 beds / 1 bath with a large terrace. Separate electrical and gas meters. Some repairs and renovations have been previously completed or started, including baths, kitchen and rough electric. The roof was just resurfaced in November 2025. The property is conveniently situated near all forms of public transportation and is just one block from the Fern Rock Transportation Center. This property needs work and the sale is strictly as-is.
