(at the corner of Mattis and Union, one street north of Springfield Avenue)

We have 10 duplexes in 5 separate buildings. These units are all served by a common heating unit which provides hot water heating radiated through the floors. As owners, we pay for heat and garbage pickup for all 10 units.   Leases generally begin August 17 and end on August 1,   Eight of the ten units are two bedroom units.
Space is one of the biggest amenities with this complex.  We took over this property a few years ago and have made significant improvements 1600unionfrt.JPG (63900 bytes)
As owners we have tried to improve the appearance and take advantage of this feature by reseeding and planting perennial beds in front of each unit 1600unionfrt2.JPG (60441 bytes)
We removed overgrown landscaping and several trees in the front and back yards 1600unionfrt3.JPG (62105 bytes)
We also added gravel to areas that serve as parking for tenants as well as guests 1600unionfrt4.JPG (62342 bytes)
We have replaced two roofs since taking over and now are proud to say that each roof is relatively new 1600unionfrt6.JPG (63439 bytes)

The living room is very spacious as these units have approximately 900 square feet each.  Plenty of space in this living room for several items of large furniture 1600unionliving.JPG (60735 bytes)
Although there are no dishwashers and garbage disposals, these kitchens are bright and large enough to eat in.  Many windows provide an excellent view of the back yard. 1600unionkit.JPG (59505 bytes)
