This is a legal duplex on one of the deeper lots in West Brant — 40 by 186 feet — with a detached two-car garage and a long private driveway. The two units are in very different shape, which is important to understand before you tour.
The lower unit has been freshly renovated: new paint, hardwood and laminate floors, updated bathroom, and plantation shutters throughout. It's vacant and ready to rent or occupy. The upper unit is tenanted at $1,075/month and shows its age — original metal cabinets in the kitchen, a basic pedestal-sink bathroom, and sloped ceilings that limit headroom throughout.
The big-ticket mechanicals — roof, furnace, and AC — are about five years old. For an investor, the spread between current upper-unit rent and market rent is where the upside lives.
