Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1925, this property shows significant signs of age with very dated kitchen cabinetry and flooring. The reliance on window AC units indicates a lack of modern HVAC systems, and the overall interior condition suggests the need for a comprehensive rehab to address long-term wear and outdated infrastructure.
The property features two separate homes on a single lot (a 2-bedroom front unit and a 1-bedroom rear unit), offering excellent flexibility for rental income, house-hacking, or multi-generational living.
Priced competitively at $235,000 for a duplex, this property presents a low-barrier entry point for investors or owner-occupants looking to offset their mortgage costs in an active market.
The home is conveniently located within walking distance (0.38 miles) of Conley Elementary School, which boasts a strong rating of 7, making it highly desirable for families with young children.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Originally built in 1925, the property may require significant capital expenditure for repairs or modernization of aging systems such as plumbing, electrical, and roofing.
With only 1,284 total square feet divided between two separate residences, the individual living spaces are quite compact, which may limit appeal for larger households or tenants seeking more room.
This unique property offers two homes on one lot, creating an exceptional opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors alike. The front home features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, while the rear unit offers 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Ideal for extended family, rental income, or a live-in-one-rent-the-other setup. The owner currently lives in one unit, which makes it easier to occupy or rent it out!
