Welcome to the one you didn't know you were looking for! Legal duplex on a quiet tree-lined street in the sought-after Central Area holds huge potential for owner-occupancy (rental income offsets your mortgage), or investors with current AirBnB on one side and long-term tenants on the other. Sited on a premier corner lot, this historic 1906 treasure features two 3BR/1BA units with full basements, gated parking & large shared yard with mature trees for privacy. Both main floor living areas feature charming built-ins, large windows, separate dining space, and eat-in kitchens. Upstairs both units feature a 3/4 bathroom and all three bedrooms on the same level. New double-pane windows, updated kitchens & baths, and separate laundry areas make both units comfortable and efficient. Commuting is a breeze from here, and restaurants, transit, parks, hospitals, schools and more are just outside your door. Development potential on the large lot (buyer to verify) while collecting rent, or renovate the whole home to suit you. One long-term tenant lease in place through 8/31/26. AirBnB income over $65K since mid-2024 launch; income statements and lease available, furniture negotiable. Cap rate/calculations based on proforma rate, buyer to verify all details.
