Description

Two doors, two opportunities, two addresses. This duplex is a blank canvas for the buyer who sees potential where others see a project! Bring your vision, your contractor, and your patience, and walk away with instant equity. HVAC and other mechanical systems are in good shape. A fresh vinyl fence separates the units and one yard. This is an easy cosmetic fixer, perfect for a first-time house-hack! Minutes from Palomar College and Cal State San Marcos, putting this property squarely in student and faculty rental territory, a built-in tenant pool for whichever unit you're not living in. The Sprinter line and San Marcos Civic Center are close by for an easy, car-optional commute, and Highways 78 and 15 put San Diego within easy reach whenever you need it. San Marcos Unified's well-regarded schools round things out for buyers thinking long-term. This is the kind of deal that rewards buyers willing to roll up their sleeves! A rare shot at a two-unit property in a location that works for renters, students, and owner-occupants alike, priced to reflect the work ahead and the upside on the other side of it.
