    What's special

    This Duplex is one, of an entire street, of almost identical units. They were all the same basic floor plan, but with slight variations. Externally they had differing rooflines, etc. Internally, some had wall heaters. Some forced air. A very few had fireplaces. None had access to the garages from the house. Access was through the big garage doors. Only units that were modified have direct access to the garage. Originally, they had a space for a washing machine in the kitchen. Some homes have been modified to install a dishwasher in that space, and have added the washer/drier hookups. This duplex has twin 2 BR, 1 bath units. The floor plans are mirrored and slipped to provide both with large living room windows. Both have Pullman style kitchens with electric stoves & ovens and dishwashers. The dining room is across from the kitchen and living room is directly inside the entry. The A unit has a corner wood burning fireplace in the living room and the B unit has a slylight in the living room. Each unit has a private single car garage with washer & gas drier hookups. The B unit has direct access to the garage from the dining room, and the A unit is indirect via a side door off the front porch. Both units have forced air gas heating. They have private back yards with small patio slabs. As the saying goes, "Location, location, location". This location has been a winner. Being just 1.10 miles from the beach, amongst multiple schools & parks, close to shopping, riding & hiking trails and many forms of recreation; this rental has always been in demand. Turn-arounds are few and very short. Rents are running in the $2000-$2400 range (each). Tenants pay all utilities except water, which runs about $50/mo. The units presently have excellent tenants. Very nice, low maintenance, always pay on time and have been through the entire Covid-BS period. PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB OR CONTACT THEM OR INVESTIGATE THE HOME WITHOUT PRIOR PERMISSION FROM THE OWNER
