About this home
Rare opportunity to own a duplex that truly lives like two separate townhomes! Nestled on a quiet circular street, this well-maintained property offers two spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath units, each with its own distinct feel and private parking area—no tandem parking required. One unit has been freshly painted and is ready for your personal touches, while the other features an updated kitchen and bath and is in excellent condition. The oversized backyard provides ample room for outdoor enjoyment and offers the potential to create two private yard spaces. Beautifully landscaped and located just steps from the new Cunniff School, this property combines neighborhood charm with exceptional versatility. Perfect for an owner-occupant seeking rental income, a savvy investor, or a developer exploring townhouse conversion possibilities. Multi-family properties with this layout, condition, and location rarely become available—don't miss this exceptional opportunity.
