About this home
Townhouse · Built 1944
Excellent investment opportunity in Elsmere Manor! 258 Birch is a very well-maintained 2 bed/1 bath brick townhome. Current tenant since 2014, and recently signed another one-year lease. A covered front porch leads you inside to the family room with laminate floors and ceiling fan. The eat-in kitchen with large dining area is updated and features white appliances (range with oven and refrigerator), oak cabinets, and tile flooring. Just off the kitchen is a lovely rear porch overlooking the backyard. Upstairs, there are two carpeted bedrooms with ceiling fans. The primary bedroom is nicely-sized with a good-sized closet. Full hall bath includes a tub/shower combo. The unfinished basement houses the laundry (washer, dryer and utility sink), makes a great storage space, and offers an egress to the back yard. Notable updates include: Converted from Oil to Gas, Gas Heater (2016), Central Air Conditioner (2016), Gas Hot Water Heater (2022). Conveniently located near parks, shopping, public transportation and I-95.
