Two appealing houses for the price of one in a great part of Elmwood! Included here are a renovated, move-in-ready two-bed/two bath bungalow with a one-bedroom guest house in back (for a true "move-in ready" home, the furnishings can be negotiated in sale price). Currently, both are popular short-term rentals and each has a distinct personality. All important mechanical systems upgraded or replaced in the last five years and the condition of both is excellent. Income records for the last few years will show that the income from the studio/loft house in the rear will pay almost entirely for the whole property. Perfect starter home for a young family who like the idea of a "house-hack" where you live in one house and your tenant in the other house pays your mortgage. This property must be seen to see the type and amount of care and love lavished on the houses and grounds. It works for either an owner-occupant or as an operating, profitable business. Buyers are responsible to confirm square feet, schools, licensing and legalities of any future use etc. WE ARE LISTING 3 MORE PROFITABLE SHORT TERM RENTAL PROPERTIES VERY SOON!
