Can you afford a possible mortgage payment of $948 per month including taxes and insurance*

Location & affordability is a winning combination for the first time buyer of this approx. 2,000 sq. ft. Duplex in one of the more desirable neighborhoods in town. Located on lower Flynn Avenue in the South End you can walk to the beach and city park for picnics and tennis or ride the bikepath to downdown. Decks overlook a large backyard with Apple, Fruit trees, and garden area. Upstairs is a 1 B/R loft style apt with vaulted ceilings, lots of windows, and french doors leading out to a rear deck from the bedroom. In the living room is a Vermont Castings fireplace to fend off cabin fever. This unit is currently rented for $885 month and has always been easily rented. Move into the two B/R downstairs unit with a large 400 sq.ft. master bedroom (used to be the old neighborhood grocery store) with lots of built-ins and a walk-closet. There is a freestanding wood burning fireplace in the L/R next to a big Bay window to watch the blizzards, a smaller 2nd bedroom, a pleasant dinning room alongside a wall of windows. The kitchen has a gas range,  washer & dryer, and sliding doors leading out to rear decks - OR - rent this unit at an estimated $1150 mo.

This property will never be your typical run-of-the-mill maintenance free condo so keep your toolbox handy. House is sold "as is" but all major structural renovations have been completed and your creative redecorating downstairs will only add to the potential and character of an older home.

HOW TO GET A SHOWING

( 802 ) 318-1007

First do a drive-by. Ninety percent of the time you'll know right away if you want to see more. Both units are occupied so please do not try to peer in windows or disturb the residents in any way. The outside of the property is well lit and an evening viewing will give another sense of the neighborhood. You may schedule a time for a brief walk-through by calling in advance and then a second private showing may be arranged at your convenience. If you are working with a Realtor and/or have been pre-qualified at a bank you may call for a showing at anytime it is convenient.
