Welcome to a unique investment opportunity! This charming "duplex" features two separate, detached homes (each with a separate tax ID, sold together under one deed) offering flexibility and potential for both investors and homeowners. The first unit is a spacious 3-bedroom home, with 1 bathroom and the convenience of in-unit laundry. It's ready for a full renovation, allowing you to design and customize the space to meet your particular needs or to maximize rental income. A second bathroom could easily be added in its current state. The second unit is a cozy 2-bedroom home, equipped with 1 bathroom and its own laundry facilities. This unit is ready for occupancy. Both units share access to a generous newly fenced yard that could be dived between the homes with additional fencing. Off-street parking, providing ample space for future tenants or owners is a rare bonus in the area. Whether you're looking to invest in a multi-family property or create a personalized living space with rental income potential, this duplex presents a compelling opportunity. Don't miss the chance to transform this property into the home of your dreams!
