    Overview

    This duplex provides two separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath units, each with its own utility metering (2 meters). The front unit is approximately 530 square feet and includes an enclosed patio and a chimney. The rear unit is approximately 738 square feet and has been remodeled. A 20x20 detached garage adds flexible on-site storage or parking capacity. The seller reports roof maintenance and upgrades including new electric and new wiring from the structure to the garage, as well as permits previously obtained with approximately $22,000 paid in connection with those improvements.

    The property is located on Buena Vista Ave in Desert Hot Springs, offering a straightforward setup for tenants and owner-occupants who want the option to live in one unit while renting the other. The community’s Walk Score, Bike Score, and Transit Score indicate a primarily car-dependent lifestyle with limited walkability and modest transit support.

    For tenants or buyers, the duplex configuration can support multiple household needs while keeping operations simple with two self-contained units and separate meters. The combination of a remodeled rear unit and the reported electrical work may appeal to buyers seeking a duplex they can begin using immediately, with an opportunity to capture rental income from one or both sides. The seller also notes possible rent of $1,500 to $1,600 per unit.
