Two BRAND NEW kitchens, EIGHT bedrooms, SO MANY possibilities- have an extra floor for family and friends, create the group living you've always dreamed of, or live in one portion and rent the other. Investor? This fully ready to rent property has been successfully leased for 20 years, and that was *before* the new kitchens went in. This attractive Queen Anne twin on a tree-lined street in Spruce Hill has 8, count ‘em EIGHT bedrooms. Zoned as a multi-family (duplex), the property could be owner occupied and the other unit rented out for consistent income, or two families could share the space, OR have an amazing extra space for family or friends OR use a floor for your art studio OR… so many possibilities. The rooms are large, bright, and comfortable, with big windows and wood floors. The first floor unit starts in a huge living room with a massive front window and decorative fireplace, followed by a brand new eat-in kitchen, full bath, and 2 bedrooms. The second floor has 3 large rooms that could be living or bedrooms, and another full bath. The third floor is 2 bedrooms, another full bath, and the brand new kitchen for this unit. Then the finished attic provides yet another bedroom upstairs, for a total of 9 potential bedrooms or living spaces. There are lots of ways tenants or owners could utilize all of that space. The basement is unfinished, tall, and clean, with two water heaters, two HVAC systems (central air throughout), laundry for the building, and wired fire alarms/CO detectors. You could easily have a workshop or gym down there, with plenty of room for storage. The exterior of this property is gorgeous, with an inviting front porch, incredible brick detail, and a wide back patio for gatherings and enjoying the trees.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
