Multi-zone HVAC ensures comfort throughout the home. Two irrigation systems assure a steady bloom of your favorite plants. The front irrigation system services the window boxes , ground-level planting beds and the hanging planters on the lampost. A similar system in the rear services the planters on the second floor deck. HISTORICAL RESTORATION: The relighting of the original city gaslamp at the front of the house showcases a commitment to preserving historic elements. Approval from the city's historic commission highlights the property's historical significance. ZONING VARIANCE: The RSA5 zoning with variance allows for flexible use of the property as a duplex. The potential to operate the first-floor unit as a monthly Airbnb, or long-term rental provides income-generating opportunities. 🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶 POTENTIAL USES: 🔹Single-Family Dwelling🔹: Easily convert the property back to a single-family dwelling by surrendering the duplex variance. The first floor could be transformed into an entertainment room with additional bedroom, laundry area, and full bath. Alternatively, use the first-floor unit as a mother-in-law suite, catering to elderly parents with its friendly first-floor layout, self-contained amenities, and sole access to the rear yard and garden. 🔹Short-Term Rental🔹: Maintain the duplex variance and continue operating the first-floor unit as a monthly Airbnb. The current owner's success with Airbnb rental (averaging $2750 monthly) suggests strong income potential. 🔹Long-Term Rental🔹: Rent out the first-floor unit on a long-term basis to generate stable rental income. 🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶 Listing Agent is the seller.
