About 609 Tower St
609 Tower Street presents a rare opportunity to own a charming 1950s mostly brick ranch in the sought-after Village District. This well-maintained home features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. Originally a duplex, it has been thoughtfully converted into a single-family residence. Zoned R-10 and situated on a 0.25-acre lot, a duplex configuration is still permitted—offering exciting potential to expand or add a second 4-bedroom unit. The property also offers generous off-street parking and a spacious outdoor area. Currently leased to students at a strong rental rate through July 2026, this home is ideal as a versatile investment property or an easy conversion to a single-family residence. All of this just one block from the Village District's shops, dining, and entertainment. Tenants are responsible for utilities. The property is tenant-occupied, with escorted showings available on Saturdays and Tuesdays from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. Feel free to attend during these windows until the property is pending.
