This well-maintained duplex offers two separate units with distinct layouts. The upper unit features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, while the lower unit has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Both spaces have been refreshed with new flooring and fresh paint throughout, supporting a clean, move-in-ready experience for tenants or owner-occupants.
