Property Description

Former Brownsville Courthouse including jail cell in lower level, now transformed into TWO luxury apartments, that could be easily converted to ONE single family home with a beautiful view of the Monongahela River. Recently updated with new Andersen windows and doors, refurnished hardwood floors, 2 new kitchens, 2 new baths and all new paint. Each unit is 1,176 square feet with 1 bedroom, 1 bath and covers the entire floor. One apartment is on the first floor and one apartment on the second floor each with their own private exterior entrance . It would take simple modifications to convert these TWO units into one single luxury unit. In addition there is a integral garage with approximately 10 x 10 overhead door and almost 12 foot ceiling and over 500 square feet. There is also another basement area of 500 or so square feet. Plenty of storage in this building. Building is heated with natural gas, and the tenants pay all utilities including gas, electric, water, sewer, and trash. Home is located about 4 miles from Penn West University, formerly know as California State University of Pennsylvania with an undergrad enrollment of over 6,200 students. Also located 2 miles from Walmart. Brownsville was first settled in 1785 and is along US Route 40, the National Road, which has connected Baltimore, MD. to St. Louis, Mo. for centuries. At one point Brownsville was the first settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains, and has a rich and long history. Frank Lloyd Wright designed Falling Waters home is 37 miles from Brownsville. And Laurel Caverns, Pennsylvania's newest State Park is 26 miles away. Nemacolin Castle is an historic museum located only a few blocks from this property. According to the 2020 census the population of Brownsville was 2,185. If you're looking for a peaceful small town living with a spectacular view, look no further, you have found it here. Currently the garage and the basement are unrented, therefore a fully rented building would produce more income than shown here. Owner is leaving one apartment vacant, so that a new owner may owner occupy the building, for a lower down payment as well as lower mortgage interest rate. So many possibilities here: 2 unit rental, 1 unit rental 1 unit owner occupied, combine both units into 1 single family home, and of course AirBnB either 1 unit or both units. Current configuration is TWO 1 bedroom and 1 bath apartments covering 1,176 square feet in EACH apartment with spacious rooms and River Views! One other highlight of the area is the Brownsville Drive in Movie Theater opened in 1949 and offers first run films, a concession stand, and amenities like free WiFi.
