About This Home
An outstanding investment opportunity in a highly sought-after location, featuring one tenant already in place for instant income and a vacant unit ready for an owner-occupant or a new tenant. Located just off College Avenue and 54th Street in the heart of Midtown Indianapolis, this classic duplex presents a rare opportunity for house hackers, investors, and owner-occupants alike. The property combines historic character, modern updates, and exceptional walkability to some of the city's most popular restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and entertainment destinations. The 642 side has been extensively updated and features a newer HVAC system and water heater for added peace of mind. Currently leased through January at $1,725 per month, it provides immediate income with potential upside to market rents. The 644 side is vacant and move-in ready, showcasing beautiful original hardwood floors and timeless charm, making it ideal for an owner-occupant or new tenant. Additional improvements include a new roof installed in December 2024, separate entrances with double covered front porches, and private rear parking for both units. Whether you're looking to offset your housing costs through house hacking, expand your investment portfolio, or capitalize on the area's strong demand for long-term and short-term rentals, this property offers flexibility and income potential in a location that's difficult to replicate.
