$349,900   Spanish Mediterranean Revival originally built as a duplex in 1930 (in other words, this is not a conversion from a single family residence). Incredible investment in the heart of the Wood Streets.

Live in one unit and rent the other, or rent out both units for a positive cash flow. There are two units, one up and one down, mirror images of each other. Each unit is a spacious 1230 sq ft with two large bedrooms, one partially updated bathroom, formal dining room, large kitchen in addition to a spacious breakfast nook, lots of cabinetry in kitchen, gas appliances, and a large living room with original hardwood floors and decorative fireplace and large picture window.

There is a nice backyard with fruit trees and a 2-car garage with laundry facilities; however, each unit has space off the kitchen to install a stackable unit if needed. Quiet cul-de-sac with excellent rental opportunities. These original duplexes don’t come on the market very often, so don’t hesitate to own a piece of history or you’ll miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime.  This is a STANDARD sale!
