Property Description
This awesome duplex is a perfect fit for an owner-occupant who wants a 2-story house with expansion potential - but for now, rental income to help pay the mortgage! Or an owner who wants to live with friends or relatives, but in totally separate spaces! On the first floor of the owners' bilevel apartment, there's a living room with a decorative mantle surrounded by custom built-in bookshelves. Next, the dining room can double as more living room space, as the current owners are using it, with more custom shelving. There's an out-of-the-way half bath and a big eat-in kitchen with lots of updates, including a pantry with pull-out shelving. The back porch overlooks a really deep landscaped yard with space for gardening and entertaining. Back stairs lead from the kitchen up to a second floor with 2 bedrooms, a dressing room/study, and a hall bath. Currently the owners use the whole suite themselves, but a new owner could use the front BR (with a decorative fireplace!) & dressing room/study together/ and the other bedroom as a totally private second bedroom. There's a hall bath. The third floor apartment tenants go straight up the main staircase to a living room, eat-in kitchen, bedroom & bath. They are on a month to month lease paying $850/month and they also pay their own separate electric and heat pump HVAC. This house is filled with original details - parquet flooring, special windows, French doors, window seats, original woodwork, decorative fireplaces, a lovely original staircase, and even some leaded glass. The two apartments could easily be used as one house by opening a few doors. Windsor Ave. is a beloved little street in the Cedar Park area of University City, not far from the thriving Baltimore Ave. "main street" with shops, restaurants and the actual park called Cedar Park. Trolley lines on Baltimore and Chester Aves. will get you to City Hall in 15 minutes, stopping at Penn, Drexel & 30th St. Station along the way.
