This duplex may not be winning any HGTV awards just yet… but for the right buyer, it could absolutely win the “best cash-flow potential without breaking the bank” category. Whether you’re an investor looking for your next value-add project or an owner-occupant trying to offset your mortgage with rental income, this property brings flexibility, space, and opportunity. The lower-level unit offers a surprisingly spacious layout with 2 bedrooms, a large living room, full bath, bonus half bath off the kitchen, in-unit laundry, and separate entrance. Upstairs features its own private rear entrance, kitchen, living room, full bath, in-unit laundry, and 2 bedrooms (including one captive bedroom for those who appreciate a little old-school Pittsburgh charm). Separate utilities for added convenience, plus off-street parking and outdoor space. Located near Elizabeth’s 2nd and 3rd Street corridors with quick access to Route 51, shopping, restaurants, and everyday amenities. Yes, it could use some cosmetic love—but so could half the houses people are fighting over right now. Solid bones, usable layouts, and upside potential make this one worth a look.
