Property Description
1. Currently configured as a legal up-and-down two-unit residence with over 300 five-star Airbnb reviews, the original interior connecting doorway remains intact and can be easily reopened to enjoy the building as a cohesive three-story single-family home—or kept separated for unmatched flexibility:
2. Ultimate House-Hack: Purchase as an owner-occupant and live in the charming main-level one-bedroom residence while the upper two-story unit's $47,607 annual Airbnb income covers virtually 100% of your mortgage—or live in the spacious two-story upper residence while the ground-floor unit offsets over $2,000 per month of your payment.
3. Single-Family Home with Private In-Law Suite or Home Office: Reopen the interior connecting doorway to unify all three floors while retaining a second kitchen, full bath, and private entrance for extended family, guests, or a dedicated ground-floor work studio.
Turnkey Investment: Continue operating both residences as fully furnished short-term and mid-term rentals with immediate cash flow from day one.
The main level opens into a tiled foyer and a front-facing primary bedroom (16x12) with double doors leading into a bright living room (17x14) featuring high ceilings and built-in shelving. The main-level kitchen includes exposed brick, laminate countertops, an electric stove, dual-toned cabinetry, and tile flooring, alongside a full bathroom with a stand-up shower and dedicated laundry.
Spanning the second and third floors (accessible via rear exterior stairs or by reopening the interior doorway), the upper levels feature a second living room (15x14) with tall ceilings and double doors connecting to a comfortable bedroom (16x12). The upper kitchen provides a dishwasher, electric stove, green and white cabinetry, in-unit laundry, and a door to a private balcony overlooking the city. The third floor features a massive 27x17 bedroom showcasing dramatic angled ceilings and exposed brick.
The walk-out basement houses two 150-amp electrical panels, two forced-air furnaces, two hot water tanks, two central air conditioning units, and a 2022 professional interior French drain, sump pump, and waterproofing system by Dr. Dry, with Bilco doors to the yard.
