There's something special about a home that nods to the character of its era, while offering updates that make everyday life a little easier. 859 Clay Street is one of those homes. This well-maintained two-family offers beautiful wood floors throughout, period-appropriate trim, a stunning staircase, and ornate doorknobs that will make anyone who appreciates the beautiful craftsmanship found in older homes stop and take notice. At the same time, details like vinyl siding, vinyl windows, and composite stairs add modern practicality. The first-floor apartment offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, plus a living room and eat-in kitchen, while the second-floor apartment features 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, a living room, and eat-in kitchen. Each unit has its own entrance and private balcony, giving both apartments a little extra outdoor space and privacy. Separate natural gas utilities, laundry for each unit, plus plenty of storage space in the basement add to the convenience for owner-occupants, landlords, and tenants alike. Outside, there's off-street parking for four cars, as well as a gated driveway. The partially fenced backyard is low-maintenance, yet offers room to enjoy outdoor living. And, this home is conveniently located to highways, shopping, healthcare, and recreation, making it easy to get where you need to go, whether it's a weekday errand or a weekend outing. With a brand new Certificate of Compliance in place, whether you're looking for an owner-occupied two-family, a property to add to your investment portfolio, or multi-generational living, this is a home that can adapt to what you need. Showings start at the open house on Saturday, 10/3 from 10-12 and Sunday, 10/4 from 11-1.
