LEGAL DUPLEX in desirable Country Hills! An outstanding opportunity for investors, those who need an in-law suite already set up for multi-generational families, or buyers looking to offset mortgage costs with rental income.

This spacious detached 4-level backsplit offers TWO separate 3-bedroom, 1-full bath units, plus a single garage and private outdoor spaces. The UPPER UNIT features some newer windows (2021), a bright kitchen with garden-door walkout to a private deck, and a primary bedroom with twin closets and ensuite privilege to the 4-piece bath with newer vanity, tile and toilet.

Sound-barrier insulation between units adds comfort and privacy. The spacious primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet plus extra storage in the adjoining cold room. A basement WALKOUT with garden doors leads to a large patio and private, fully fenced backyard—ideal for kids and pets. A shed offers extra storage options. Additional features include 200-amp service in the garage, a 100-amp lower-level panel, new AC in 2024, and newer garage door opener (2021).
