Whether you're looking to expand your investment portfolio or offset your mortgage by living in one unit while renting the other, this brick duplex offers flexibility, immediate income, and room to grow. Located in the heart of Ambridge Borough, the property features separately metered gas, electric and water, making ownership and tenant management straightforward. Current rents are below market, offering buyers an opportunity to increase income over time as leases turn over. The lower-level unit is scheduled to be available in September, giving buyers the flexibility to owner-occupy or lease at today's market rate. The main-level apartment (Unit 2) offers the convenience of one-level living with nice entryway, full dining area and adjacent kitchen, two bedrooms, one bath, a welcoming front porch, window air conditioning, private washer and dryer, and exclusive access to a walk-up attic that currently provides abundant storage. The lower-level apartment (Unit 1) features three bedrooms, one full bath, eat-in-kitchen, a private deck and patio, plus the use of the basement for laundry and storage located just below the unit. Looking for additional possibilities? Subject to Borough approval, buyers may wish to explore creating additional living space or an efficiency apartment within the walk-out basement, or expanding the main-level unit by incorporating the walk-up attic. These opportunities allow future owners to tailor the property to their investment goals while building additional value over time. Ambridge continues to attract attention as community improvements, new businesses, local restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, fitness facilities and neighborhood investment contribute to the Borough's ongoing revitalization. Convenient access to Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh International Airport and major commuter routes adds to the appeal, while the Borough's affordability continues to attract both residents and investors seeking long-term value. New furnaces in 2023 & 2025, 2024-2025 replaced refrigerator & mini w/ d in Unit 2.
