## Description

### Agent Description
*Back on Market - Buyer Financing issue** This Beautiful Duplex in the Historical District has been renovated from Stem to Stern! All NEW: Historic Preservation-approved Windows & Siding, structural repair where needed, Exterior & Interior Paint, Complete Electrical rewire, plus additional Insulation. Newer Roof (2024) and One of the HVAC units (2024). The Red Oak Hardwoods have been brought back to their glory... Gorgeous Custom cabinetry and quartz countertops in the kitchens and baths for both Units. Other esthetic details include Designer tile, custom crown and trim work and glass door knobs. A 1/2 bath was added in the downstairs unit. You will find 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths in the downstairs unit and 2 bedrooms + office and 1 bathroom in the upstairs unit. Utilities have been separated (2 meters for both water and electric) to help provide great income potential whether renting both units or living in one and renting out the other. There are spacious and private back decks on both levels and a large back yard for off street parking and outside enjoyment. A termite bond is in place for peace of mind. This charmer is only one block from the fabulous Castle Street District and a short stroll to the Cape Fear River. Come check out this gem!
