431 Fourth Ave

Move “FOURTH” with your new lifestyle! Start rockin’ it on the rocking chair front porch where you can sip, nibble, snooze, talk, read, chat up neighbors & smile knowingly that you made a great decision on an even greater investment as this home is currently being used as a 2 family which can easily be lived in like a single family with some very simple conversion choices. It has lived as BOTH a single and a 2 family throughout its history. The left side of the home opens to a duplex unit that can be used flexibly. A charming living room with period details featuring 9 foot ceilings, tall windows (all double-paned), leads through French doors to the current dining room that is adorned and warmed by a wood-burning fireplace with brick surround. Adding to the warm glow are the original hardwood floors which exude luxuriant beauty. An eat-in kitchen with period built-ins, a large pantry and a door out to the yard and 2 car garage makes life easy. The large bedroom is perfectly proportioned and sun drenched through its 2 tall East facing windows for sunny mornings. This is the place where a doorway to the stairs going up has been walled off and can be easily removed to create a single family (the 2nd kitchen would have to be "de-applianced" of course). The full bathroom has a period soaking tub that will relax you at first place.The useful basement has separate finished rooms that can be used the way you wish…recreation space, office, guest room…you choose! There is a full bath down there (legal) which makes the space count! The laundry room and storage space makes it all easy. The right side of the home leads to the second unit upstairs that is current being used as a 2 bedroom apartment with an eat-in kitchen and full bathroom. Multiple windows invite an abundance of natural light pouring in from Southern & Eastern exposure. The 2 car detached garage, long driveway, level yard, patio and close proximity to all things Pelham make this a smart move. Juliannes playground, the NEW Hutchinson Elementary School, shops, restaurants, and all things Pelham are all a stroll away! Roof is 14 years young, hot water heater installed in 2019. May the Fourth Be With You!
