3111 Forest Hill Ave., Richmond, Va

I just finished uploading this Duplex for sale, 3111 Forest Hill Ave., Richmond, Va

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Great Woodland Heights location! This Victorian is set up as a duplex, but could be turned back to a single family home (please - check with City of Richmond to ensure that you would be in compliance with whichever use you choose for this home!). This home was renovated only a few years ago - vinyl siding, new plumbing, new electric, central air added on both levels, replacement windows in the upstairs level, wood floors refinished. Throughout both levels you will find several original fireplaces (which are conveying "as is" and do not currently work). This duplex has separate gas & electric meters, as well as separate hot water heaters, but water is master billed. When you enter this home, you will find parquet wood floors in the vestibule! The downstairs unit has a living room, bedroom (which could be a dining room if turned back to a single family home), a small office space, full bath & a kitchen (with washer/dryer connection), as well as a screened porch off the kitchen! The upstairs unit has a living room (which could be used as a bedroom if turned back to a single family home) as well as 2 additional bedrooms, a kitchen & full bath. But in this upstairs unit, there is access to the third level, where you will find an additional 2 finished rooms (home office, extra bedroom, another family room) as well as unfinished storage space. The former sleeping porch has been finished into a room with heat and air conditioning! The partial basement is accessible from the lower level unit and the owner indicates that there has been no water in the basement since Hurricane Isabel (the owner added a walkway outside to drain away the water & had the bricks repointed insided & outside)! Some TLC & maintenance needed here, but a little elbow grease makes this a great buy for someone looking to live in one unit and rent out the other, take it back to a single family home, or even have family living in this home! So see this home, then make an offer! Note: this home is being sold "as is" and is a potential short sale!
