MOVED TO PRIVATE. LISTING AGREEMENT STILL VALID Located on the perfect corner lot on a tree lined street in the Lakewood Balmoral Historic District, this handsome brick 2-flat has undergone extensive updating inside and out, with unlimited opportunity for a savvy investor or owner-occupant. Possibilities: leave in its current configuration as a fantastic turn-key 2-flat; or de-convert to a single-family home with a total of 4,632 square feet of living space; or duplex down into the basement (true 8' ceilings with new concrete floors) to create a 3,088 sf owner's unit with a 2nd floor 3 bedroom/1 bath rental unit (1,544 sf). Currently, both 3-bedroom/1-bath units are beautifully finished with 10' ceilings, separate living/dining rooms, gorgeous new kitchens (2020) and individual HVAC systems. Recent building improvements in 2020 include: basement floor dug out and poured with new concrete to create higher ceilings; surround drain tile installed with ejector pit and pump; rebuilt chimney; and tuckpointing, new lintels (as needed), architectural custom steel inlaid gutters, new front porch roof, cedar balusters and porch skirt, Azek composite tongue-and-groove deck/stairs, east elevation parapet torn down/rebuilt, new steel roof over front bay window.
