TOWNHOUSE DUPLEX – COMMERCIAL BUILDING
 |
 717-719
East Main Street:
An ORIGINAL townhouse duplex with full basement - each side almost
identical; two bedrooms on the upper floors; lower floors - kitchen, full
bath, large dining (family) room and living room plus enclosed rear porches
and open front porches; lots of character ... but surely in need of
modernization and updating; hardwood floors - beautiful old woodwork -
SQUARE AND STRAIGHT but somewhat neglected. Newer gas furnace in one unit -
basement for each side and a detached 3 car garage. There is OPPORTUNITY
GALORE in this property - years of good use left but needs your talent and
skills. NO BETTER WAY to have a home and let half of it make your payments -
the Europeans have done this for years - live in half - let the other half
carry the expenses. Look it over and YOU decide what it's worth - - - COME
PREPARED to bid and buy. Showings at your convenience!

721
East Main Street:
Was an old pool hall at one time (if only the walls could talk!!) - has been
home for numerous businesses over the years- two-story commercial concrete
block building comprising approximately 3,200 square feet per floor; upper
level (private entrance) has 4 apartments with lower level having two
commercial outlets (separate entrances) and one smaller apartment; MOST
CERTAINLY in need of LOTS of help - renovations of all kinds needed. BUT ...
BUT ... BUT a lot of square footage for few dollars. There's all kinds of
"stuff" in the building (up/down) and you get all the TREASURES with the
purchase. ADAPTABLE - - you make the call; what's the next use for this turn
of the century building??
