Nestled on a peaceful, long private drive just 6 blocks east of downtown Route 1, this solid, character-filled home offers a unique investment opportunity. Set on 1.24 acres, this spacious property has been configured as a two-unit home for over 60 years. With 3 bedrooms and 6 rooms on each floor, you can live in one unit and rent the other. The house boasts an updated boiler system (new pumps & burners 2015), roof updated around 2009, windows updated to high efficiency in 2015, and hardwood floors throughout most of the home. While the home is well-maintained, it does need a little TLC and personal touches to make it your own. The full unfinished basement includes a laundry area, an extra shower, and a large room framed out and ready to be finished as a recreation or entertainment space, adding even more potential for customization. Outdoors, enjoy the expansive yard with a vacant lot to the west, perfect for outdoor activities or potential development. A large garage and shed complete this inviting package. Built in 1899, with a foundation replaced 60 years ago, this home blends historical charm with modern updates. Don't miss this rare opportunity-schedule your showing today!
