Property details

About 215 E Brown St

This 3-bedroom twin home blends character with opportunity. As you approach, you’re welcomed by an enclosed front porch—unheated and without electric, but perfect for enjoying spring mornings or storing seasonal items. Step inside and you’ll find a cozy layout, highlighted by a non-functioning fireplace that still adds a touch of charm. In the back, a small covered porch offers a peaceful spot to unwind, and just beyond it, there’s convenient off-street parking for two vehicles. The home sits atop a full unfinished basement, offering plenty of room for storage or potential workspace. While the home currently uses electric heat, it remains plumbed for oil, giving the new owner flexibility for future upgrades. The roof was installed around 2023, providing peace of mind for years to come. With a long-term tenant already in place, this property presents an excellent opportunity for steady rental income or a future owner-occupant looking to make it their own.
