This unique property offers the perfect blend of potential and passive income. Set on a stunning 1.8-acre lot, 509 Five Mile Drive includes a main single-family residence and a legally grandfathered duplex that was once a barn.
The main house, while in need of renovation, served as a cherished home for many years and previously rented for $1,300/month. It's now ready for your vision—bring your contractor and design ideas to transform it into your dream home.
The accessory duplex provides immediate income and has a large unfished attic space. The upper unit (509A) is a bright, beautifully maintained 1-bedroom apartment renting for $960/month. Lease ends 12-31-25. The lower 1-bedroom unit (509B) features a walk-out to a covered deck and patio with tranquil views of the expansive backyard and currently rents for $970/month. Tenant is month to month.
Whether you're looking to invest or create a custom home while offsetting costs with rental income, this is a rare find in a prime location.
