About this home

Investor opportunity awaits with this up-and-down duplex ideally situated on a corner lot just off Hwy 17 and only one block from Hwy 67-offering convenience and strong rental appeal. This versatile property still features its original staircase, providing the option to easily convert back to a single-family home if desired. Currently operating with month-to-month tenants and no long-term leases in place, you have the flexibility to adjust rents or occupancy to suit your investment goals. The lower unit is generating $550/month, while the upper unit is vacant. Seller pays water, sewer, and disposal, with tenants paying gas & electric, helping keep expenses manageable. Recent improvements include an updated upstairs bathroom and newly added exterior stairs to the upper unit, enhancing both functionality and access. Whether you're looking to expand your rental portfolio or explore a future single-family conversion, this property offers immediate income potential and long-term possibilities. Don't wait-write your contract today and start building residual income right away!
