About this home

Turnkey duplex opportunity in the heart of Columbia City that is great for house hacking by living in one of the units or renting out both for cashflow. This well-maintained property features two updated units: Unit A features a 3-bedroom, 1-bath floorplan and Unit B features a 2-bedroom, 1-bath floorplan. Both units are currently tenant-occupied, providing immediate rental income for the next owner. Each unit has been thoughtfully updated with modern finishes with its own individual washer & dryer, helping minimize near-term maintenance while offering comfortable living spaces. Generous interiors and functional floor plans make the property well-suited for long-term rental use. Conveniently located just steps away from the Light Rail, as well as local shops, dining, and parks in Columbia City. A compelling opportunity for investors seeking a well-kept, income-producing property in a central Seattle location. The duplex comes pre-inspected.
