House with APARTMENT! Welcome to 1442 Dorchester Road in Havertown. Whether you’re looking for a large single family home or a duplex (3 to 5 bedrooms depending on 2nd floor use) on a beautiful 60' x 150' level lot, this property presents a unique opportunity with its surprisingly large 2nd floor 1 or 2 bedroom apartment that could be offered for rent or as additionally living space. Walking up to the home you’ll notice the welcoming raised open front porch, as well as, the private driveway with an oversized 2 car detached garage w/ loft at the back of the property. Entering the first floor, you’ll notice the beautiful hardwood floors and a great floor plan starting with a large living room that leads into a large formal dining room. Further you’ll find a modern kitchen with loads of white cabinetry for great storage, granite counter tops, tile backsplash, recessed lighting, breakfast bar and built in desk space. Off the back of the kitchen you’ll find a mudroom space that leads to the back deck that overlooks the level, deep lot (150' deep). Back inside, a hallway leads to two good sized bedrooms and a full hall bath with separate tub and stall shower with tile surround. A door off the kitchen leads down to a large full basement that has 2 finished rooms, a full bath with stall shower, a laundry area, and large unfinished storage space that includes all the utilities. A door from the second back bedroom gives access to the stairway and separate exit. This allows for a private entrance for the second floor if desired. The 2nd floor was remodeled in 2019 and includes a 1 bedroom, living room & dining room space, small kitchen and full bath with shower. Additionally, the second floor has an all in one washer & dryer, as well as, a separate electrical service from the first floor, allowing the tenant to pay for electric and hot water. The home heats off of a common oil burner, however does have separate hot water tanks for both units. Other features include a new roof (2024), central air (split system) for the 1st floor, replacement windows throughout and 200 amp electric. Keep in mind that the 2nd floor could be modified into as many as 3 bedrooms, should you plan to make it part of the primary home. The staircase to the 2nd floor is accessible by the first floor back bedroom if needed.
