Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This duplex offers two separate residential units with a practical income configuration. The first-floor rental is currently occupied as a 3-bedroom, 1-bath apartment and is described as having many updates. The second-floor apartment is currently vacant and set up as a 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit, providing flexibility for an owner-occupant or an investor seeking to re-rent or improve between tenants. The property also includes on-site parking for 6+ cars and has a newer roof and additional updates.

Situated in a quiet residential neighborhood on a large lot, the home is positioned across from a bike and walking trail. Convenience is a key factor here, with access to shopping, universities, schools, houses of worship, and major roads including Routes 206 and I-95 and I-295.

For investors, the mix of an occupied unit and a vacant unit can support steady cash flow while still leaving room to optimize the second unit. For buyers considering owner-occupancy, the layout can accommodate living in one unit while renting the other, with ample parking available on site.

Key Highlights
