About this home

A special opportunity in the hills of Fairfax priced to move and well maintained. Perched just above town with views of downtown Fairfax and the green hills beyond, this versatile duplex offers the kind of flexibility today's savvy buyers crave. Whether you're an owner-user looking to offset your mortgage or an investor seeking a high-demand income property, this one likely checks the box. The upper one-bedroom residence welcomes you through a charming covered entry porch and into an airy living/dining space. The kitchen opens to a private deck with tranquil wooded outlooks and postcard views of Fairfax. A full bath with shower, a cozy bedroom area, and an additional flex room/office make this a wonderfully functional home. The lower studio unit enjoys its own covered entry, a spacious, sheltered deck, warm carpeted living space, full bath with stall shower, and an efficient kitchen. Ideal as a long-term rental, guest suite, or creative retreat. A two car garage makes parking a breeze and has room for bikes and outdoor gear. The utility setup is investor-friendly with dual meters. This could be great for a 1031. Per the owner, this property has enjoyed a history of long-term tenants and steady income in this price range, an opportunity that rarely comes to market!
