About this home
Single Family · Built 1935 · Historic
Two homes for the price of one! Rare corner-lot opportunity offering incredible flexibility and income potential under a single parcel number. Live in one home and rent the other to ease your mortgage or maximize returns by leasing both properties for dual rental income. The main home at 405 W. High St. features 3 bedrooms plus a first-floor office and 2 full baths and is fully rented. Character and updates blend seamlessly with beautifully refinished hardwood floors, classic built-ins, new quartz countertops, an eat-in kitchen, enclosed front porch, partial basement, some new carpeting, and a new boiler (2021). The second home at 223 S. California St. offers 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, hardwood floors, a galley kitchen with quartz countertops, full basement, central air (new 2025), new water heater (2024), washing machine, and updated deck boards (2025). Both properties benefit from new landscaping completed in 2025, enhancing curb appeal and overall presentation. A shared driveway provides convenient off street parking. Whether you're an owner occupant looking to significantly reduce your housing expense or an investor seeking strong rental income from two separate residences, this dual-property opportunity delivers versatility, updates, and long-term value in one smart purchase.
