    Overview

    This two-family duplex includes two separate units, each with its own attached garage. Both units offer a layout with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Unit 2823 is currently occupied by a long-term tenant of over five years. Unit 2825 is fully renovated and vacant, with a brand-new kitchen, new bathroom, new carpet and vinyl flooring, new windows, a new furnace, a new roof (2024), and stainless steel appliances.

    The property is listed as a delayed showing, with no showings allowed until 06/19/26 at 9:00 am. Sellers will not accept proposed purchase agreements or offers earlier than 10:00 am on June 22nd. The home is described as ideally situated with public bus stops across the street, a short 5-minute walk to campus, and a 3-minute drive to Abbie Sawyer Elementary School. The property is zoned RL.

    This configuration can support an owner-occupant plan while collecting rental income, or provide a straightforward setup for an investor seeking a two-unit asset with one unit already updated and move-in ready. With renovations in Unit 2825 and an ongoing tenancy in Unit 2823, the duplex is positioned for tenants who value separation by unit and private garage access.
