Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1968, this 56-year-old duplex has received cosmetic refreshes including newer laminate flooring and interior paint. However, the presence of window AC units suggests a lack of modern central HVAC, and the overall age of the structure and fixtures indicates that kitchens, baths, and primary systems are likely dated (>20 years) and will eventually require updates.
This duplex offers a prime 'house-hacking' opportunity for buyers to live in one unit while generating rental income from the other, supported by separate utility meters for simplified management.

Both units feature a highly sought-after single-story floor plan with private fenced backyards and individual garages, providing the privacy and functionality of a single-family home.
Built in 1968, the property may require upcoming capital expenditures for modernizing major systems or cosmetic updates to remain competitive with newer rentals in the area.
