Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, this well maintained property features a newly installed tear-off roof ('21), many new windows, freshly painted interior and exterior ('24), and professionally installed Mitsubishi Mini Splits ('23) for efficient heating and cooling throughout.
The front house boasts 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with one of each on the 1st floor for added convenience. The eat-in kitchen, newly built rear deck, and a double living room provide the perfect layout for entertaining. The rear upper apartment offers a delightful 1 bedroom space that exudes a cozy home feel, making it perfect for short-term rentals or as an in-law suite.
Currently utilized as a successful short-term rental, both units come with bookings extending into 2025, providing an excellent investment opportunity. This home would also be ideal to owner occupy with an in-law suite, or be easily converted in to a true single family. Nestled in the vibrant and historic Allentown neighborhood, this property is just steps away from eclectic shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.
