This Dickens Park duplex -- offered for the first time by its original owners -- is a rare find that works equally well as a primary residence with rental income or a straight investment addition to your portfolio. Solidly built, thoughtfully updated, and move-in ready, it offers two mirrored units on a generous lot -- each with the same functional 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom floor plan and an open layout that lives larger than it looks. Upper Unit: The upper level brings a bright, open feel with a fully equipped kitchen featuring a washer/dryer and dishwasher. The bathroom offers a convenient shower/tub combo, and a private deck provides the kind of outdoor space tenants and owner-occupants alike tend to love. Lower Unit: Downstairs, the living area is finished with durable tile floors -- a practical touch that holds up beautifully under everyday wear. The kitchen includes its own washer/dryer hookups, and the bathroom mirrors the upper unit's shower/tub combo layout for seamless consistencybetween the two. Both units share access to a screened-in porch and a detached 2-car garage with additional storage and 2 remote door openers per unit ??? amenities that add everyday comfort and genuine rental appeal. The big-ticket updates are already done: a new roof installed in 2016 and new windows in 2021 mean lower maintenance costs and stronger buyer confidence from day one. The location seals the deal. Situated close to top-rated schools, the University of Michigan's Big House, and a strong mix of restaurants and shopping, this property draws from a deep and reliable renter pool ??? and makes for an equally compelling place to call home.
