Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This updated duplex offers a two-unit setup with interior fresh paint and improvements throughout. Recent upgrades include upgraded electrical wiring, new luxury vinyl tile, newly refinished clawfoot tub, and new cabinets in unit two. The property also has storage in both the attic and basement, laundry hookups in both units, and blown-in insulation in the upstairs and downstairs walls as well as in the attic. Exterior finishes include front and back porches, a newly painted metal roof, and a new water heater for the upstairs unit.

Located in the City of Roanoke near a bus line, the property provides convenient access for residents and visitors. A level back lawn adds usable outdoor space, complementing the porches and the unit’s balcony for outdoor enjoyment.

For tenants, the layout supports independent living with in-unit laundry hookups and substantial storage options. For owner-occupants or investors, the turnkey condition and documented updates make it easier to bring the property online with less near-term work. The duplex can also be converted back to a single-family dwelling by reinstalling a doorway, offering flexibility for future ownership needs.

Key Highlights

  • Built in 1925 with storage and hardwood flooring
  • Upgraded electrical wiring, plus natural gas and electric baseboard/forced‑air heating
  • Newly painted metal roof and newly installed water heater for the upstairs unit
