Imagine living in this wonderful condo alternative, while collecting revenue from the 2nd unit. This legal Heritage duplex is a sweet bit of paradise nicely tucked away in Fairfield West close to all amenities. Currently laid out as owner-occupied on the main floor with an upper 1-bed suite. Alternatively both units can be rented out, or the home can be converted back into a SFD with 3 beds up & a guest bed on the main. The current owner has done many thoughtful updates, bringing back it's character from a well-done but dated 1980's renovation. Both units have their own hydro, utilities & laundry. While the lot is small, it certainly doesn't feel that way with ample space on all sides of the house for both units to have private outdoor areas for seating and gardening. A large storage shed at the back is perfect for bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, camping gear & the wee bit of garden equipment needed for the low-maintenance garden. City living with no strata fees AND income generation.
