Built in 2010, 33 Garfield Street is currently configured as a 3-bedroom, 2-bath Single Family with 2 extra rooms in the lower level and generous off-street parking and an oversized garage with a height near 18 feet that may accommodate vehicle storage, workshop space, hobbies or other personal use. The property is in an R2 zoning district, where Single Family use is allowed as a matter or right, and zoning approval has also been obtained for conversion to a two-family dwelling, giving buyers two potential paths to evaluate. The second unit has not been build and any conversion remains subject to approved plans, permits, construction, inspections, utilities and final occupancy authorization. This may be a renovation-financing opportunity for a qualified owner-occupant; ask your lender about FHA 203(k) financing with as little as 3.5% down or HomeStyle Renovation financing with as little as 5% down. Buyers intending continued Single Family use, the seller may consider reasonable pre-closing requests concerning that use before closing.
