This solidly built duplex was intentionally designed to be a forever home. The structure is two stories, with two bedrooms on the primary side and an well appointed studio with private loft sleeping space on the second side. Constructed from pumicecrete, each unit stays warm in the winter, cool in the summer and quiet, private living. A single combi forced hot water system provides radiant in-floor heating to both sides with separate zones for comfort. A de-coupled wall system with an air gap between the two units ensures temperature differentiation and sound transmission. Each unit of the duplex has it's own outdoor patio with shade structure, lockable storage room and independent laundry facilities. Both sides feature sweeping views of the mountains, mature shade trees and fresh water catchment for landscaping. This duplex has been carefully maintained and has a solid rental history. As as future use, it could continue to be dual rentals, a primary home with an additional dwelling unit (ADU), a single family home with a studio or anything else you can imagine. A pre-listing inspection has been performed and the report is available to pre-qualified buyers. Rental histories, utility and maintenance records are available upon request.
