Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This property is a duplex-style arrangement offering two separate homes for income or owner-occupancy. The front home, originally built in 1947, has been gutted and renovated and is configured with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, plus a studio and a loft. The interiors include cathedral ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a large family room with an adjacent sun room. The kitchen is updated with stainless appliances, Caesarstone countertops, and a 5-burner stove with a built-in Jenn-Air grille, plus travertine flooring, cherry cabinetry, and an instant hot water tap. There is also a separate laundry area and a refrigerated wine room adjacent to the kitchen. Additional features include forced air heat and central air, a remodeled downstairs bedroom bath with high-tech shower fixtures, and a loft level that looks down over the living room. Bedroom 1 includes a sliding glass door to a private deck. A studio/4th bedroom has a deck and separate entrance accessed via a spiral staircase. The front home shares a 2-car garage with the rear home and enjoys part of the yard area. Recent landscaping includes no-maintenance artificial turf.

Located in a relatively hidden, low-traffic enclave in Belmont Heights, the property is described as having good walk-ability and is set up to support independent living between the two homes.

For buyers seeking flexibility, the separate-home configuration can accommodate an owner who wants to live in one residence while generating income from the other. The extent of renovation, including HVAC, updated kitchen finishes, and multiple outdoor deck connections, supports a broad range of tenant or household preferences where turnkey condition and functional layout matter.
