This unique property offers flexibility for a single-family home or a duplex—the choice is yours! Each level boasts 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and gorgeous hardwood floors, making it perfect for families, investors, or those seeking a spacious layout. Thinking about keeping it as a duplex? You'll need to add an HVAC system upstairs to meet new requirements, but here's the great news: Grant money is available through the Invest DSM program to help fund this update. Prefer to make it a single-family home? The grant funds can also be used to modernize and customize the space to suit your needs. With a little updating, this home can truly shine. Sold as-is, this property is a blank slate waiting for your vision. Whether you’re looking to invest, create your dream home, or both, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
