    TURNKEY DUPLEX WITH TWO UPDATED UNITS — INVESTOR READY! Income-producing opportunity with significant recent updates! This versatile duplex offers a newly renovated two-bedroom upper apartment and a one-bedroom lower apartment, making it an excellent addition to an investment portfolio or an ideal owner-occupied property with rental income potential. The main house apartment with two-bedrooms has been extensively updated, featuring all-new flooring, fresh paint, new mini blinds and curtains, new French doors, and all-new electric baseboard heaters. Numerous newer vinyl windows add to the property's efficiency and appeal. The unit offers two separate entrances, two bedrooms, an upper deck, and bathroom. A stackable washer and dryer adds valuable in-unit laundry convenience. One of the property's standout features is the former enclosed front porch, now converted into a flexible additional living space. With its own private entrance and gorgeous French doors opening into the living room, this space could function as a home office, den, or potentially an additional bedroom—adding flexibility and value for either an owner occupant or tenant. The lower one-bedroom apartment was renovated in 2025 and offers new linoleum flooring, electric baseboard heat, and its own stackable washer and dryer. The exterior features durable composite fire-resistant siding, along with many newer windows, helping reduce maintenance concerns for the next owner. With two distinct rental units, recent renovations, dedicated laundry in each unit, updated heating, newer windows, and a low-maintenance exterior, this property is positioned as a compelling opportunity for investors seeking an updated duplex with strong rental appeal. Live in one unit and offset your expenses with the other, or rent both units and add a turnkey property to your portfolio.
