What if your next home came with $1,750 a month in rental income? Welcome to 5905 Elgin Street, where classic Highland Park charm meets a smarter way to own a home. This distinctive brick duplex offers the opportunity to enjoy a spacious, two-level owner's residence while an established, long-term tenant in the first-floor apartment provides $1750 in actual monthly rental income. The beautifully proportioned second- and third-floor residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, gorgeous hardwood floors, original architectural details, and an inviting open living and dining area filled with natural light. A bright sunroom opens to a generous outdoor deck, creating the perfect extension of the living space. The third floor offers a private primary retreat with an exceptionally spacious bedroom, full bath, dedicated home office or bonus room, and convenient laundry and walk-in storage. Both residences enjoy separate backyard spaces, and 2–3 off-street parking spaces add everyday convenience. The first-floor apartment features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, with the tenant paying gas and electric. The owner's residence will be available for occupancy at closing. All of this in the heart of Highland Park, with its beautiful park, neighborhood restaurants, and easy access to East Liberty, Shadyside, and Bakery Square. Whether you're looking for a distinctive home, a more intelligent path to homeownership, or the flexibility of multigenerational living, this property offers something truly special. Live Beautifully. Own Intelligently. A home that helps pay for itself.
