Description

Welcome to this unique and spacious duplex nestled in Allegheny Township—offering incredible potential for investors, multi-generational living, or those looking to create a one-of-a-kind single-family home. Rich in history, this property was once a cherished family home before being converted into a duplex, and it’s easy to see the character and possibilities throughout. The main (larger) unit features a distinctive multi-level layout with generously sized rooms. The most convenient entry is from the front of the home with one of the off-street parking areas next to it, leading into a welcoming living room and flexible bedroom or family room space. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional spacious bedrooms. The lower level offers a large eat-in kitchen with access to a covered rear porch and additional off-street parking. A bonus room—perfect for a home office, pantry, or extra storage—connects the kitchen to and oversized full bath. Additional storage space is abundant, including a large storage room and basement with access to the rear yard. The second unit, located at the rear of the home, includes two bedrooms and a full bath. The kitchen and living areas have been gutted and are ready for renovation, offering a blank slate to customize. There is also interior access between units, creating the opportunity to convert back to a single-family residence if desired. The home is serviced by gas hot water heat (single boiler), and each unit has its own 100-amp electrical service. The basement houses the mechanicals and provides additional storage. Situated on a newly subdivided lot (taxes and assessed value to be determined), the property also features a generously sized backyard that backs to peaceful wooded surroundings. Whether you're looking to renovate and generate rental income, restore its original charm, or design your dream home, this property presents a rare opportunity with endless potential.
