Property Overview
Incredible original fireplace, dark woodwork in fantastic condition. Charming Baker townhouse with basement, rare large lot and detached garage. Beautiful brick exterior with sf on main level plus another 529sf available in basement with private exterior access. Finish the basement as a small Short Term Rental studio to offset mortgage. The main level has charm with the original fireplace including vintage tile, oak trim, built-ins, big kitchen, formal dining with built in and hardwoods waiting to shine. Interior plaster and paint already handled throughout the strong layout. The basement has dedicated private entrance which could be joined to the main house with a back addition or converted to income property. This will be a 3 bedroom 2 bath with 2 car garage on a very large 3550sf lot. The garage needs a lot of work but it’s value in Baker is worth it. Note the zoning here likely allows that garage to be converted to ADU up to 2.5 stories high. Front of duplex needs to be kept in it’s current attractive and classic condition, no work needed in front.
