This is a built in 1922 beautifully maintained purpose built duplex. It has been updated for efficiency and modern comfort while maintaining it's historic charm. The hardwood floors have been impeccably kept. The owner is putting the finishing touches on a few cosmetic items. We've listed slightly early to beat the cold. It shows very well regardless and will show better still prior to taking possession.
