Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Fully renovated duplex with two 1-bedroom, 1-bath units, each furnished and permitted to operate as a short-term rental since 2019. The lower unit offers 500 SF with a full kitchen (stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator), plus a king bed and twin trundle beds for up to four guests. The upper unit provides 477 SF with a kitchenette (no stove), a queen bed, and twin trundle beds. Both units include mini-split heating and cooling, flat-screen TVs, and WiFi. The renovation was completed in 2019.

The property sits on a 0.05-acre lot with sidewalk access, and it was built in 1896 with frame/timber frame construction and an asphalt roof. Zoning is listed as residential and multi-family, and maintaining active short-term rental permits is described as a requirement to keep the units operating as permitted STRs.

This duplex is set up to function two ways: run both units as short-term rentals, or live in one unit while using the other to offset your housing costs. A full-service property manager is noted as being in place.
