Property Description
Welcome to this beautifully refreshed 100+ year-old duplex where the current owners have taken exceptional care to create a bright and airy space that feels fresh while still honoring the home's original charm. Situated on a corner lot with lots of large windows that let the sun shine in from multiple directions, the property has undergone significant interior and exterior improvements since it was purchased in 2021, resulting in a pristine, move-in-ready condition rarely found in a building of this age. The home has been freshly painted throughout, wood floors have been refinished, and many fixtures, including ceiling fans, lights, plugs, and switches, have been replaced. New blinds were also added throughout. Unit 1 (the lower unit at 508 N Evans) received a full remodel in 2023/2024 that includes a new kitchen with updated flooring, appliances, fixtures, painted cabinets, new countertops, and upgraded ceiling tiles, along with a completely refreshed bathroom featuring new flooring, shower, sink, toilet, and fixtures. Both exterior doors on Unit 1 were replaced, and the HVAC system was replaced in 2023. Outside, the upper unit received a new front deck in 2021, the lower unit received new front and back decks in 2022, new basement windows were installed in 2022, and landscaping around the foundation was completed. This flexible duplex currently functions as two fully separate units, each with its own utility meters, making it ideal for independent living or easy management. The layout also offers excellent potential to convert the home back into a spacious single-family residence if desired. Whether you are looking to house-hack and suppliment your mortgage, start your investment portfolio, or simply enjoy a well-maintained historic home with modern updates, this property delivers both character and practicality. Don't miss the opportunity to own a move-in-ready duplex in pristine condition. Inspections are for informational purposes only.
