About this House

Located in the Hilltop neighborhood of Columbus, this value-add duplex features two spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath units, each offering approximately 1,120 square feet.

The unit features hardwood flooring with updated LVP in the kitchen and bathroom, along with a refreshed kitchen equipped with new stainless steel appliances, including a range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave.

Unit 252 is currently leased under market on a month-to-month basis, providing a clear path to increase rents through cosmetic updates. Tenants pay all utilities, and the water is sub-metered, keeping operating expenses low.

    "If you like city style dwellings without the hub bub of city life, look no further! Parking is limited (in addition to off-street parking), but the bus line is in front of the building: 10 min to downtown, 10 minutes to grocery, gym, the Casino. Laundry facilities are in the SECURED building. You can literally gamble at the Casino, pray at the church next door, get your driver's license across the street and play at the park all in the same day."
