Discover a rare gem in the heart of Durham, NC, where investment potential practically comes gift-wrapped. This renovated Walltown duplex isn't just another property, it's a two-for-one special with endless possibilities. Think of it as your very own choose-your-own-adventure: rent both units, live in one while your tenant covers the mortgage, or even test out your Airbnb hosting chops. Each freshly painted 1 bed/1 bath unit comes loaded with perks such as gleaming hardwood and LVP floors, recessed lighting, separate attic access, and the holy grail of rental life—a washer and dryer in each unit (side A 802 sq ft and side B 832 sq ft). With private side entrances, you could even reimagine each side into a 2-bedroom layout if you're feeling ambitious. The property sits elevated from the street with alley access out back offering two parking spots per unit, and a shared front porch that's practically begging for rocking chairs and friendly neighborly chats. Both units are vacant and move-in ready, which means the cash-flow clock can start ticking the moment you get the keys. You'll be just minutes from Duke's East Campus, Duke Park, South Ellerbee Creek trail, and all the restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries that make Central Park and downtown Durham a local favorite. Whether you're aiming for short-term rentals, long-term leases, or simply enjoying life in one of Durham's most beloved neighborhoods while your property pays for itself, this duplex delivers.
