If you can use your imagination, this is an absolutely incredible property (photos do not do it justice). This property features a full 1 bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor (about 650 SF), with a full kitchen and bath, one private entrance and the 2nd entrance from the kitchen (see door in kitchen - it leads to the 2nd floor apartment with another door at the top of the steps). The main floor (about 1150SF) features 3 full bedrooms, 1 full bath and the houses main kitchen. This property is NOT in a FEMA flood zone, backs to a massive greenbelt, is 1 block to Riverfront Park & the bike trail, has a detached 2 car garage with a super long driveway that avoids having to search for street parking. This property has not been on the market for over 40 years. The 2nd floor apartment is being rented to family below market value at only $750 per month, but imagine the possibilities! Main floor of residence is easy to show. 2nd floor requires a day or so notice. Property is priced to sell! ***NOT IN FEMA FLOOD ZONE****
