Overview
Description
16 and 18 Foundry Street are two sides of a semi-detached former company house located on a well-established street in Glace Bay. The area is made up primarily of similar company homes, with some newer construction nearby, including a duplex next door. These homes were originally built for coal company workers and reflect the simple construction typical of that era. Each side of the home is a 1.5 storey layout with three bedrooms and one bathroom. One unit is currently vacant and does not have active electrical service. Electrical and general improvements would be required prior to occupancy. The second unit has been rented to the same tenants for approximately 11 years and is currently generating $600 per month. Tenants would prefer to remain, though vacant possession may be possible. The property sits on an approximately 8,000 square foot lot and includes a detached wired garage. The foundation style is typical of older company housing and may consist of piers or a perimeter wall. Overall, the property should be viewed as an opportunity for buyers prepared for repairs, upgrades, and ongoing maintenance, with expectations aligned to the age and original construction of the home.
