Inside the home
This legally certified duplex is a backsplit 5 with a fully independent lower unit — separate entrance, separate hydro meter, and its own laundry. The lower unit has been freshly finished with new laminate flooring, neutral paint, and modern trim throughout. The upper unit is a different story. The kitchen is original 1970s — dark wood cabinetry, white appliances, vinyl tile — and the rest of the main floor matches that era. Buyers should budget for updates if they plan to occupy or re-rent the upper unit at top market rate. The backyard needs a full cleanup before it's usable. The bones of the building are solid brick with a covered rear patio and an attached garage. At this price, the income potential from two legal units is the main draw.
- Legally certified second unit with separate entrance
- Two separate hydro meters and 200-amp panels
