Property Description
A perfect opportunity for investors or owner-occupants, this well-maintained duplex features one vacant unit (1br - unit #1 on the main level that includes a finished lower level w/a bathroom) - ready for immediate move-in and a second unit already generating rental income. Investors can place a new tenant right away while benefiting from the existing cash flow, and owner-occupants can enjoy the advantage of living in the vacant unit while offsetting housing costs with rent from the current tenant. Ideally located near the rapidly evolving St. Elizabeths campus redevelopment, the property offers exceptional convenience with easy access to major thoroughfares and an array of entertainment, shopping, and amenities-including MGM National Harbor, National Harbor's waterfront dining and attractions, and multiple regional destinations. This is a rare chance to secure a versatile property in a growing, well-connected neighborhood. The owner has completed extensive interior and exterior updates to prepare the property for market, including installation of interconnected smoke/COâ‚‚ detectors, replacement of front and rear windows in both units, freshened paint surfaces, safety and structural repairs to decks and rear staircases, and full electrical review with all outlets and panels brought into compliance by a licensed electrician. Systems and appliances in both units are fully operational, the water heater includes a new code-required expansion tank, and additional DOB-driven upgrades were completed, including installation of an illuminated emergency exit sign, repair of stairwell lighting, and installation of missing handrails with riser safety enhancements. Exterior improvements include a concrete skim coat to the front walkway and stairs, new shutters, portico repairs, yard cleanup, window-well clearing, and refreshed seasonal plantings-presenting a well-maintained, safety-compliant, and market-ready property .
