About This Home

As of August 2021

We sold this to the owners over 20 years ago and it's been a smart investment for them!! This is a surprising 2 unit with practically no exterior maintenance!!! Exterior stucco is in nice condition and all the windows were replaced a few years back. You'll want to see this one! Both units are identical, one on top of the other. Each have 2 private bedrooms, kitchen, living room and bath. Tenants pay their own hot water (gas) and electric. Owner pays for gas heat, water/sewer/trash. Both tenants have been here several years and the owners didn't adjust the rents as they should have - both rents could be substantially increased. This will make a great starting investment or addition to your portfolio. Set up your showing today!! 1st floor rent $635.00, 2nd floor $605.00
