    Income-Producing Duplex | Recently Remodeled Inside & Out! The inside and outside of this duplex have been remodeled within the last 6 months, offering a fresh, updated property that is move-in ready and ready to generate income. This beautifully renovated 2,390 sq ft owner-occupied duplex offers a rare opportunity for both savvy investors and smart homebuyers looking to offset their housing costs.

The property features a 2-bedroom, 1-bath main-level unit and a 3-bedroom, 1-bath upper-level unit, with convenient on-street parking. Main-Level Unit | 2 Bed | 1 Bath Your new home has been refreshed with brand-new laminate flooring throughout, new bedroom carpet and LVP in the bathroom, gorgeous granite kitchen countertops, updated plumbing and fixtures, new stainless-steel appliances, and fresh paint throughout, including the casings and base trim. Upper-Level Unit | 3 Bed | 1 Bath The spacious upper unit offers three generous bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, along with updated flooring, an updated kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and modern cabinet hardware, fresh paint throughout, and a new kitchen plumbing fixture. Major Improvements Extensive renovations were completed in 2016, including a complete rebuild of the main level down to the exterior studs, new furnaces, water heaters, central air conditioning units, and a brand-new rear covered porch. Combined with the recent 2026 updates inside and out, this property offers an impressive combination of character, functionality, and modern updates. This turnkey duplex is perfect for an owner-occupant who wants a tenant to help pay the mortgage or an investor seeking a quality, low-maintenance property with strong rental appeal. Conveniently located near everyday amenities, this beautifully updated multi-family home is ready for its next owner. Don’t miss this opportunity to make your home work for you!
