Description

This duplex property in Richmond, KY offers a strong opportunity for investors or owner-occupants looking for income-producing property with separate living spaces and utilities. The property features two units: Side 1 offers approximately 1,250 sq ft and is leased month-to-month, while Side 2 offers approximately 1,100 sq ft and is currently leased on a year-long lease, providing flexibility for future occupancy or rental adjustments. Side 1 has been remodeled, while Side 2 offers the opportunity for updates and added value. Each unit is separately metered for electric and water, with tenants responsible for all utilities including electric, water, and trash, helping reduce owner expenses.
