Description
Discover this versatile two-family duplex in Jefferson Township, an incredible investment opportunity offering income potential, space, and convenience. This property features two distinct units: the first is a spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath apartment with a large living room and a nice-sized eat-in kitchen, while the second is a comfortable 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment with its own living room and kitchen. Whether you're looking to live in one and rent the other, create a multi-generational setup, or expand your investment portfolio, this property is a smart choice. The larger unit spans two levels with generous living space, three well-sized bedrooms, and a bright eat-in kitchen, while the second unit offers easy one-level living — ideal for steady rental income, a home office, or guest quarters. Updates include areas of modern flooring that add style and function, while the layout provides flexibility to customize to your vision. Additional highlights include a walk-up attic for storage, a full unfinished walk-out basement, and ample off-street parking. The sizeable parcel offers outdoor space for recreation, gardens, or potential enhancements, making this property even more appealing for owners and tenants alike. Conveniently located close to Scranton and just about 30 minutes from Lake Wallenpaupack, this duplex combines functionality with accessibility. Whether you're seeking a property to generate consistent rental income, a home with room for extended family, or a project with upside potential, this Jefferson Township duplex offers endless opportunities.
