This distinctive brick duplex offers the opportunity to enjoy a spacious, two-level owner's residence while an established, long-term tenant in the first-floor apartment provides $1750 in actual monthly rental income.

The first-floor apartment features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, with the tenant paying gas and electric. The owner's residence will be available for occupancy at closing. All of this in the heart of Highland Park, with its beautiful park, neighborhood restaurants, and easy access to East Liberty, Shadyside, and Bakery Square.
