This fixer upper alert looks like it would be a fun project! The house is currently two units. The house was built in 1889. It is located in Hardwick, Vermont. The house features a covered front porch. Each unit is a mirror image of the other. I’m assuming this was originally a single family residence. I would turn it back if that is the case. Someone could also live in one side and rent out the other. It has potential. Six bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,563 square feet. $175,000

From the Zillow listing:
This duplex is not one to ignore and investors should take note! It does need cosmetic work but it is literally like having 2 houses side by side, they are a mirror image of each other. Each unit has an eat-in kitchen with the cabinets and sink in a butler’s pantry with pass through, such character! They have a formal dining room, living room, den, and full bath on the 1st floor. Each unit has 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor. What is so unique about this property is that one of the bedrooms on the 2nd floor looks like it may have been a kitchen at some point in its life, with a water closet! The cabinets are there and one unit still has the sink basin in place. With access to the 2nd floor from the stairs at the front door hall, it’s conceivable with permitting from the town to convert this dwelling into 4 separate 1 bedroom units. The den on the 1st floor could be a bedroom and the upstairs units could be an eat-in kitchen with a living room and bedroom. A large closet in the “kitchen” on the 2nd floor could possibly be converted to a cozy bathroom. Or, it’s also possible to have a business here. So, there could be a business with offices on the first floors and make apartments upstairs. So many options and combinations. It does need paint and the shared front porch needs to be replaced but the building is solid. Separate back porches and a divided basement for storage. This private location on a dead end street is out of the flood zone. Worthy of a look for sure!!
