Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This for-sale duplex features two separate residences on a single parcel. The main home offers two bedrooms and one bathroom and includes a one-car garage. A second home on the property provides one bedroom and one bathroom. Both units are available for a new owner to update and personalize, creating an opportunity to improve the homes while maintaining the existing two-house layout.

The property is situated on a corner lot at 2165 Butler Avenue in South Lake Tahoe, California. The parcel size is listed at 0.2 acres, and the total property size is approximately 1,710 square feet. The two homes being on one lot provides a straightforward, consolidated way to manage an owner-occupant arrangement or a two-unit rental setup.

From a practical standpoint, this configuration fits buyers seeking flexibility with two separate living spaces. It can support an owner who wants to live in one home and rent the other, or a buyer who intends to renovate both residences and operate them as rental units. Because the units are noted as ready for updates, it may also appeal to buyers planning light to moderate improvements to bring the homes up to their own standards.

Key Highlights

  • Two separate homes on a single parcel in the desirable Tahoe Island neighborhood.
  • Strong income potential through renting either or both units.
  • Seller financing is available.
