Circa 1920 this very pretty and very well cared for three unit located in the heart of the Centre Park Historic District is a find. There are so many original details and plenty of windows to allow for an abundance of natural light throughout the building, The double door entrance has a stain glass transom and the foyer is just lovely. The first floor unit features 1 bedroom with an ornamental fireplace, ceiling fans, a spacious living room (part of which is being used as a bedroom), a gorgeous kitchen and 1 1/2 baths. The full bath was recently updated. There is also a laundry room (including a washer and dryer) and a storage room. The 2nd floor unit features 2 bedrooms, a large living room/sunroom with an ornamental fireplace, built-in window seats and ceiling fans. There is access to a lovely 2nd floor porch which overlooks the quaint fenced in yard. The 3rd floor unit has an open floor plan and features a 1 bedroom with lots of storage. (There are no photos of this unit but it is very nice!) The heating was updated from oil to gas. The roof is only 10 years old. The owners have made numerous upgrades to the building over the years. This one of a kind property would be perfect for single family conversion, owner occupied or the buyer looking for a well cared for investment property. call now to schedule a showing.
