Attention investors! This duplex offers strong potential for the right buyer ready to take on a project. The front unit features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and is currently occupied by a tenant. The back unit includes 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a basement. Please note: A garage fire occurred in February 2023, which caused electrical damage. As a result, there is no electric service to the back unit, and it has been condemned. While the fire damage was primarily limited to the garage, the basement of the back unit does take on water. The front unit tenant is not currently paying rent, and eviction will be the buyer’s responsibility. The property includes dual electric meters, with shared gas and water meters. This is a major renovation opportunity with solid upside potential for the right investor. No showings will be permitted, and the property is being sold strictly in "AS-IS" condition. The seller will make no repairs.
