Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This side-by-side duplex is configured as mirror image units, each with its own front porch, front and back entrance, dedicated yard space, and a private dry basement with washer and dryer hookups. The upstairs level includes two bedrooms and one bathroom, while the downstairs area provides dining, living, and kitchen space. Both units have attic crawl space access and substantial closet space. Recent work includes a brand-new metal roof and a new roof on the 2-car garage; Unit 218 is fresh and updated and ready to occupy shortly after sale. Unit 214 has renovations started, including new sheetrock and a new tub with surround, along with a new sink and bathroom vanity included in the sale. Original hardwood floors run throughout most of Unit 214 and some of the living areas. The property also features 150-amp service and separate utilities for each unit, supporting separate utility bills.

The duplex is located on a residential neighborhood street in Watertown, NY, and is described as being blocks from an elementary school and nearby dining/takeout options, including Stewart’s and Tim Hortons. The driveway is shared with the house next door; however, it is double wide so there is no other property’s use of the seller’s side. Additional dedicated off-street parking is available in the rear and side of the house.

For tenants or owner-occupants, the layout supports privacy with separate entrances and dedicated yards, while the individual utility setups help simplify household budgeting. The combination of two-bed, one-bath upstairs bedrooms and washer/dryer hookups can fit a range of residential needs. With a major exterior component completed via the new metal roof and garage roof work, this duplex presents a practical option for those seeking a maintained income property with independent unit configurations.

  • Side‑by‑side craftsman duplex built in 1919 with 2‑bed/1‑bath layout per unit
  • Brand‑new metal roof installed; includes a 2‑car garage with a new roof
