Overview

Description

Nestled on a mature tree-lined street in Whittier, this 1905 up/down duplex sits moments from Lake of the Isles, the Walker Art Center, The Wedge Co-op, Spyhouse Coffee, and The Leaning Tower of Pizza. The kind of charm you can't fake, and a location with perks. With tenants moving out at the end of June, this is the perfect opportunity for an owner-occupant just getting in the game, someone wanting to offset their mortgage, or an investor ready to add a turnkey duplex to their portfolio. Here's what makes it easy: separate boilers, separate electric, separate hot water heaters. Tenants pay their own gas and electric. You handle water, sewer, and trash. Sewer line recently cleaned and in good condition. Off-street parking, fenced yard, shared laundry in the basement. Live in one, rent the other. Rent both and let it pay for itself. House hack your way into something you actually own. However you use it, the math works and the options are real.
