It's excellent for an individual looking for an immediate return on their investment as they occupy one unit and allow the other unit to pay for the mortgage. It's like you are living rent-free!!! Or rent both units. As you walk in, you will find the beautifully wall-designed bright colors painted hallway. To your left is the first-floor unit with a lovely bedroom, living room, a nice-size eat-in kitchen, and a bathroom with a stand-up shower. The backyard is large, with a brick wall enclosed for your privacy. Great for entertainment and or a great place to relax and enjoy with friends and family. The basement is large, clean, and dry for storage; two 40-gallon hot-water heaters and the original ductwork are still in good condition if you want to convert back to gas heat, and the gas meter is still in place. A copper water line enters the house; both units run on all-electric, electric baseboards for each unit's heating, cooking, and electricity. 200 AMP power comes in, then two separate 100 AMP panels per unit.
