    What's special

    Fenced yardSoaring ceilingsWelcoming front porchStriking black-and-white checkered floors
    Investments with this much character don't come along every day. Located in the desirable Huffman Historic District, this up-and-down duplex blends timeless charm with solid income potential. The lower unit features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, laundry, soaring ceilings, and striking black-and-white checkered floors that give the space a personality all its own. Upstairs, the 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit is leased at $850 per month through a one-year lease, providing immediate rental income, while the lower unit has an estimated rental potential of approximately $1,000 per month. Major updates include windows (approximately 5 years old), furnace (approximately 5 years old), and water heater (approximately 6 years old). A fenced yard and welcoming front porch add to the property's appeal. The owner currently pays the water bill. To respect the upstairs tenant's privacy, showings will be limited to the lower unit until an accepted offer is in place. Surveillance equipment is in use on the property and does not convey. Whether you're looking to expand your investment portfolio or explore an owner-occupant opportunity with rental income, this historic gem is one worth seeing.
