The listing, in the seller's words

Historic and beautifully updated duplex in the heart of Ghent! Combines vintage charm—wood floors and diamond-pane windows—with modern design. Twice as nice with 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, and 2 dining rooms. Limitless possibilities: perfect for a large family, multi-gen living, or rental investment. Kitchens and baths were just remodeled, with fresh paint throughout. Main kitchen has quartz countertops and a gourmet gas stove. Brand-new tile baths with granite and marble. Huge living and dining rooms on both floors. Addit spaces include a sunroom with wooded views, a front balcony overlooking Shirley Avenue, and a fenced side & backyard with turf and a dog door. Enormous basement and walk-in attic with tons of storage. All systems serviced on yearly contract. Only one owner until 2021! Oversized two-car garage for storage only. Incredible location—you can see the Naro Cinema from the driveway! Shops and restaurants just steps away. A rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds!
