Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This well-maintained solid brick over-under duplex offers a flexible mixed-use configuration. The lower unit is currently designated for commercial use and includes a fully equipped kitchen and a full bathroom. The upper unit provides a spacious three-bedroom, one-bath layout with updates including a remodeled bathroom and updated flooring. Recent capital improvements include a roof replaced in 2019, a new heat pump installed in June 2025, and a new hot water heater in 2025. A large, privacy-fenced yard adds outdoor space for residents and operators.

The property is located at 228 E Washington Street in Hagerstown, Maryland, in Washington County. It is described as centrally located with excellent accessibility, supporting a range of owner-occupant and income-focused strategies.

For buyers seeking a live-work setup, the layout allows an owner to occupy the upper unit while operating a business in the commercial lower level. For investors, the existing commercial use in the lower unit and the residential use in the upper unit provide two distinct income components, subject to compliance with applicable requirements. Owner financing is available to qualified buyers. FHA financing is not eligible due to the commercial component. Conversion of the lower level to full residential use is possible subject to approvals.
