Public Remarks: Investment opportunity in Fountain City. This updated duplex features two 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, both currently vacant and move-in ready, giving the next owner immediate flexibility to select tenants and establish new leases. Ideal for an investor looking to expand a rental portfolio or an owner-occupant interested in living in one unit while renting the other. New roof installed September 2026. Both units underwent extensive renovations in 2022 and feature updated kitchens with soft-close cabinetry, tile backsplashes, appliances including dishwashers, refinished hardwood floors, updated bathrooms, and washer and dryer connections. Unit A features an updated shower enclosure, while Unit B offers a custom tile shower. Major improvements include replacement windows, PEX plumbing in the kitchens and bathrooms, HVAC systems replaced in 2020, updated gutters and downspouts, added insulation, updated lighting, and a paved driveway with retaining walls.

With both units vacant, the next owner has immediate possession and the freedom to establish their own rental strategy without assuming existing leases.
