Description

Here is a unique opportunity at a duplex with one side currently vacant. Pictures are of the vacant side only. With the one side being vacant this opens up the possibility of an owner occupied purchase. Check with your lender to see if this could be something you may qualify for. Plenty of programs that would allow this. Which makes it a great opportunity for first time buyers starting out. Or even seasoned buyers looking to make a temporary jump until the right one comes along. Of course it would make a great downsizing for those in those houses with a lot of empty rooms. Each side of the duplex has a mirror layout floorplan. See picture for example. Sizes in picture are estimated and are not guaranteed. Each unit comes with a gas stove/oven, refrigerator, garbage disposal, & a stacked wash/dryer unit. Take note that the laundry and water heater are in the closet of the second bedrooms in each side. Currently the garage is being split between the two sides. The new owner can determine how those rules play going forward. There is a patio area out back and a shed for extra storage.
