Live virtually mortgage-free in this well-maintained duplex, ideally situated within walking distance to town. The income-generating front unit — currently leased at $3,000/month — covers nearly all of your mortgage and taxes, making this an exceptional opportunity for both first-time homebuyers and seasoned investors alike. The property has been thoughtfully updated throughout, featuring new windows, new siding, a new front door, new flooring, and refreshed kitchens in both units. A newer boiler ensures reliable heat, and best of all, tenants pay their own heat and hot water — keeping your expenses low and your cash flow strong. Back unit heating is 3-4 years old. Both units have laundry. A private semi-fenced in backyard rounds out this turnkey package. Don't miss your chance to own a property that essentially pays for itself.
