About This Home
As of October 2025All-Brick Duplex with Significant Income Potential. All-brick duplex offers two spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath units at 1,322 sq. ft. each. Major systems have been updated, including a new roof in 2013, furnaces replaced in 2023 and 2024, maintenance-free vinyl windows and updated 100-amp electric breakers. The lower unit has been fully remodeled and is move-in ready, featuring new kitchen cabinets and countertops, an updated bathroom with a new mirror, sink, cabinet, toilet, and tiled tub surround, plus fresh paint and new carpeting throughout. This unit should command market rent of at least $900 per month. The upper unit has had a long-term tenant of 11 years and is currently rented at $565/month on a month-to-month basis—well below market rates. With some cosmetic updates, this unit presents a strong opportunity to increase rents to market levels, significantly boosting cash flow. Located just two blocks from Mid-Town and the 7th Street business district, this property offers convenience, stability, and strong investment potential.
