About This Home
Fantastic move-in-ready investment with immediate income potential. This updated and fully rental-certified, low maintenance Ferndale duplex checks all the right boxes. The tenant can pay your mortgage while you enjoy building equity - an investor or house hacker's dream. Both units have been thoughtfully remodeled and impeccably maintained, with modern kitchens, ceramic tile baths featuring glass mosaic accents, and deep soaker tubs. You’ll find stunning dark wood floors, carpeted bedrooms, a large walk-in closet, and vinyl windows throughout. Enjoy the charm of enclosed front porches, a shared fenced yard with garden and shed, plus secure basement storage. Appliances included: stove, fridge, dishwasher, washer, and dryer, in each unit. The owner has added smart storage opportunities all over the house wherever possible. There are closets, cabinets and armoires all over the property. The public alley remains navigable—off-street parking may be possible. Roof replaced in 2020. Currently tenant-occupied on the first floor, vacant on the second floor (currently listed for lease at $1495). Please do not disturb the tenants.
