About this home

This single story side-by-side duplex offers a solid investment opportunity with multiple income-producing units. The property contains 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across its layout, providing flexibility for various tenant configurations and leasing strategies. The multi-unit structure allows investors to generate revenue from separate income streams while maintaining a single property management footprint. Each unit operates independently, creating appeal to tenants seeking their own entrance and private space. The configuration supports both long-term residential leasing and owner-occupant scenarios where one unit can offset carrying costs through income from the others. Contact us to schedule a showing.
