Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 1,080-square-foot duplex, built in 1910, contains two one-bedroom units. The first-floor residence is vacant and freshly remodeled, while the second-floor unit is occupied. Both apartments are described as being in good condition, and each has its own electric water heater, replaced in 2024.

Separate metering covers heat and electric service, with tenants responsible for those utility costs. The property is professionally managed and includes a two-car garage at the rear without a current garage door, along with additional parking for two vehicles in front of the garage. The configuration supports continued rental use or an owner-occupant arrangement.
