About The Listing

Don’t miss this charming mid-century designed home. The lower-level foundation of the home was built and used exclusively as a rental home until the 1950’s. The owner’s parents rented one of the apartments and then worked with a Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice/associate to build their dream home above the foundation- completing the construction during the early 1960’s. Architecturally pleasing, solidly constructed home features modern updates while maintaining character and charm. With two basement apartments (complete with living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and baths) this property boasts three separate living spaces. Perfect for an investor looking to cash flow a property or a family looking to live in the main level home and rent the lower-level apartments. New primary kitchen appliances/flooring 2025, roof installed in 2021, plumbing and electrical updates 2023/2025, exterior painted 2022, rehabbed exterior walkways & stairs 2021/2024, refreshed gardens 2025, interior fresh paint 2025 and more. You’ll love the spacious room designs, original oak floors, and retro cool bathrooms. You’ll appreciate the functional design and great proximity to everything.
