This charming duplex in the Avenues offers endless possibilities, whether you’re looking to live in one unit and rent the other or maximize rental income from both. Situated on a corner lot with a classic picket fence and a beautifully landscaped yard, the property features a 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit and a studio. The 2/1 is adorable and has been tastefully updated with new luxury vinyl plank flooring, cozy carpet in the front bedroom, fresh paint, dual-pane windows (except one), updated bathroom flooring, modern light fixtures, and ceiling fans throughout plus new tile backsplash in the kitchen. It also includes a full-size washer and dryer. The studio unit is equally delightful, featuring a full kitchen with a dining nook, and a stackable washer and dryer in a laundry room off the kitchen. Both units have private front and backyard spaces and separate gas and electric meters for easy management. Additional features include a double car size converted garage that’s perfect for a workshop or hobbies, fresh paint on both porches, a new roof on the house and garage in 2019, and front yard sprinklers. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity in one of the most charming neighborhoods around!
