About This Home

Rare opportunity in the Landmark Historic District to own a double (TWO UNITS), Non-Owner-Occupied Short-Term Vacation Rental —live in one, lease the other, and capitalize on valuable permits. Offering exceptional flexibility, this property is ideal for an owner-occupant seeking to live in one unit while generating income from the other, or for investors looking to maximize rental potential. Significant value lies in the transferable STVR permits—an increasingly limited asset in this premier location. Renovated in 2021, both units feature thoughtfully and completely reimagined baths, all new lighting fixtures and chandeliers, new interior paint, quartz countertops, a blend of slate and original hardwood flooring, 3-years young AC, totally rebuilt balcony, and rebuilt rear facade wall. Two fireplaces in each unit, enhancing historic charm with modern updates. The upper residence boasts a serene, tree-level balcony, while the lower unit welcomes guests with a classic front porch—perfect for enjoying the surrounding historic ambiance. Washers and Dryers included. Property will convey semi-furnished for a seamless transition and rental readiness. Listing Agent is Co-Owner of the property in an LLC.
