Description

This is RARE opportunity to own both sides of a duplex in the highly sought after Cable Car subdivision! This home has a ton of reasons for you to buy it. Rent out 1 side while living with an offset mortgage, purchase with your parents and be close by for all of life's adventures, maybe you just want an investment opportunity & rent out both sides. The exterior of the house was redone in 2010, windows, siding, and the roof. The Shop was built in 2003 and is 30'x40', plus you have 30'x14' covered boat storage. Sitting on 1.5 acres this is a beautiful lot that even has views of the mountains from the back. Each side is completely separate including power & septic fields. Both units consist of 3 bedrooms & 1.5 bathrooms over 3 levels. Odds of finding a home like this again will be very slim! (id:63159)
