EXCELLENT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY IN UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS. This 864 sq. ft. duplex sits on a 2,722 sq. ft. lot and consists of two separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartments, making it an attractive opportunity for investors. The property is located in University Heights, close to the Vermont Street Pedestrian Bridge, as well as numerous shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, and the vibrant Hillcrest neighborhood. It is also conveniently located near several major hospitals and just minutes from popular attractions such as the San Diego Zoo. The upstairs unit is fully remodeled and features fresh paint throughout, new flooring, new gas stove and range hood, upgraded cabinets and counter tops, mirrored closet doors, new ceiling fans and upgraded lighting, new wall heaters, electric washer and dryer hookups, spacious private patio deck, small bedroom balcony and storage shed. The downstairs unit is a fixer opportunity which requires a full remodel but features a large private deck, attached garage, long driveway with parking for up to 4 cars and washer and dryer hookups.
Investment Highlights: Both units will be delivered vacant, allowing the buyer to place their own tenants and establish market rents and lease terms. Prime central location near dining, nightlife, medical centers, and major San Diego attractions.
