Here's an affordable 2-family to get you started on your investing journey, to help you pay the mortgage with a single tenant, or to convert into a single-family home with plenty of space.
And what a location! You or your tenants will love the wide open space of Derryfield Park right across the street. With playground, ball fields, tennis courts, workout stations, and lots and lots of open field, it's one of Manchester's great spots for recreation and relaxation, with a great view of the sunset and fireworks.
The view across the street...
In addition to the 2-car garage, there's a very generous driveway with a turnaround at the top, and some nice landscaping to separate you from the neighbor.
The first floor has a large room that is a hub for the enclosed porch, the basement, the bathroom, the living and dining room, and the kitchen. (Just off a hallway outside the bathroom there is also a second bedroom on this floor, but it might best be combined with the second floor living space--see more on that below).
Here's the porch I just mentioned, facing Weston Street and the with a nice view of Derryfield Park:
The side porch from Weston Street:
The first-floor kitchen is small but efficient.
The dining room and the rest of the first floor features nice wood floors and natural wood trim and details.
Pocket doors (not shown) separate the dining room from the living room, whose focal point is the beautiful wood mantle around the fireplace--unless you're gazing out the large windows, of course.
The primary first-floor bedroom is just off the living room
This bedroom has nice, large windows as well with a view of the park.
The first-floor bathroom features a new step-in shower enclosure (BathFitters) installed last year.
As noted above, there is a second bedroom on this level, but since it is separated from the rest of the first floor by a hallway from the secondary egress stairs for the second floor, it might be better to combine it with the second floor, leaving the first floor as a one-bedroom unit and making the second floor a two-bedroom unit. Or, if you convert the whole property to a single-family, this would be a great office or workout space.
Head upstairs to the second-floor unit and you'll see that the living room overlooks the park and features a built-in bookcase.
Across the hall you'll find an eat-in kitchen, with a window facing west so you can watch the sun set as you cook your fettucini.
The first bedroom upstairs is spacious, with a great view of the sunrise, and some built-ins in the closet.
The second-floor bathroom has the washer hook-up (this washer will not convey with the property)
The second bedroom upstairs:
Outside the second bedroom is a foyer with access to the attic, which provides plenty of storage and possible expansion space, and to the rear egress stairs that lead to that extra bedroom on the first floor and the driveway.
The basement has the hook-ups for the first floor laundry (this washer and dryer DO convey with the property). The first floor heat is forced hot water with an oil boiler, second floor heat is electric, and each unit has its own 200-amp electric panel with generator hook-up (there is a portable generator in the driveway conveying as well, but the current owner has never used it and can't vouch for its operability). A single water heater serves both unitsThere is also lots of workshop and storage space, and bulkhead access to the rear yard.
You won't have to worry too much about systems to start out, since the boiler is about 6 years old and serviced annually, and the roof is just a year old. Instead you can massage and polish some of the lovely period features--like the wood floors, natural woodwork, the beautiful fireplace mantle on the first floor--to really bring the property to life.
Perched on the edge of the Hanover Hill neighborhood, in addition to the park you're around the corner from Derryfield Country Club and golf course (great sledding hill!), Trinity High School, Jerome's Deli, and just a couple of blocks from I-93, so commuting is easy.
