    What's special

    Flexible interior layoutLarge side yardAdditional street parkingCovered rear porch space
    Located at 522 Cavitt Ave in Trafford, this vacant up/down duplex offers two separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartments and a straightforward opportunity for an investor to update, lease, and operate the property on their own terms. Each apartment has a separate kitchen and living room. Electric is separated with two panels and meters, while the gas boiler and gas water heater are shared. The first-floor apartment previously rented for $950 per month and includes direct access to the full unfinished basement, laundry hookups, and the existing dryer. The second-floor apartment previously rented for $875 per month and features newer flooring and carpeting. Historical gross rent was $1,825 per month. Depending on final condition and improvements, the estimated combined rent range is approximately $1,900–$2,100 per month. The property was historically self-managed. Under the current utility arrangement, tenants pay their separately metered electric, while the owner pays gas, water, sewer, and trash. Additional features include a gravel driveway that comfortably accommodates two vehicles, additional street parking, a large side yard, covered rear porch space, and a flexible interior layout. A connecting door within the stairwell allows the two levels to remain separated as apartments or be opened for combined access, subject to the buyer’s intended use and applicable municipal requirements. The property is vacant and available for showings, inspections, and buyer due diligence before contractual commitment. Property is being sold as-is and where-is. Buyers are responsible for independently verifying property condition, dimensions, legal use, municipal requirements, rents, expenses, utilities, and all other material information. 412 Real Estate Solutions has an equitable or contractual interest in the property and may assign its rights under an existing purchase contract, option, or related agreement.
    What the owner loves about this home
    What stands out most about this property is its flexibility. Both 2-bedroom apartments are vacant, electric is separately metered, and a new owner can inspect, update, and establish new leases without inheriting existing tenants. The first floor offers basement and laundry access, the upper unit has newer flooring and carpeting, and the interior connection between levels provides additional options for future use. The driveway, large yard, and central Trafford location make this a practical rental property with clear cosmetic value-add potential.
