Inside the home
This is a converted 1932 church building operating as an up-down duplex — two units with full vacant possession. The architectural bones are genuine: leaded glass windows, ornate plaster cornices, original hardwood floors in the upper unit, and ceiling heights you won't find in typical rental stock. The lower unit is a work-in-progress. It still reads as a converted hall — green carpet, chandelier lighting, and remnants of its former use. The kitchen has been updated with a modern island and stainless appliances, but the space needs a full residential reconfiguration to function well as a living unit. The upper unit is more conventional, with a functional oak kitchen, three bedrooms, and worn but solid hardwood floors throughout. The exterior needs serious attention. The rear and side stucco walls show significant deterioration and the building is not separately metered. Buyers should budget for exterior envelope work and an electrical separation. The NLR zoning and appraised value of $720,000 against the asking price are the core investment argument here.
