Excellent start to your real estate portfolio in the heart of Ephrata! This income-producing duplex features two well-maintained 1-bedroom units with separate heat and electric—offering flexibility for both short- and long-term rental strategies. The first-floor unit is heated with baseboard heat, while the second-floor unit offers electric heating.

The property sits on a manageable 0.06-acre lot and includes off-street parking for two vehicles. With public water and sewer, low taxes, and a convenient location near local amenities, this is a smart addition to any investor’s portfolio.
