Very small 2 family (post WW2 conversion from a single family)

[Chris Masons]

Hi  guys,

Hope everyoner is well. This may be my first post in 2015!!

I have a house I have an offer in, that based on how it is configured (pretty oddly) it will end up being a legal 2 family with 2 1 bedroom units. 1st floor has LV,1 bedroom, kitchen and small office/study. 2nd floor has 3 rooms and bathroom. of the 3 1 is a kitchen and other two are truly bedrooms with closets..

This house was once a single family but was converted to a 2 fam as a result of the housing shortage after the war.

This is an estate sale and house is in great shape built in 1920 with beautiful dark chestnut trim throughout, high ceilings, nice size basement that will go with the first floor.

Has anyone ever owned a 2 family that consisted of 2 1 bedroom units?? I like the house and it has alot of character however the configuration is little odd. If I was to make it a 3 bedroom, (2 on 2nd floor and 1 on first)  the 2nd floor t would be no living room and or dining room and kitchen is very small so on of the 2 bedrooms upstairs will serve as a living room and or living room/ dining room combo.

Just curious on peoples experience with this type of property as it will be the smallest 2 family I would own.

thx in advance!

Chris
