INVESTOR ALERT!! Priced $85k below the latest county assessed value! This duplex property on a residential street in the heart of Cary has so much potential. Only 0.6mi to the new Downtown Cary Park and all the great restaurants/entertainment. Priced below $195 sq/ft this is a RARE opportunity for this location! Both units have long-term tenants that are month-to-month. Unit 500 has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, while Unit 502 has 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath and 2 half baths. This 0.29 acre property is deeded as one entity, but because it's a duplex there are two Town of Cary water meters, two Duke Energy electric meters, and two USPS addresses for the property. Tenants are responsible for their respective utilities.
