About this home

LEGAL DUPLEX in desirable Country Hills! An outstanding opportunity for investors, those who need an in-law suite already set up for multi-generational families, or buyers looking to offset mortgage costs with rental income.

This spacious detached 4-level backsplit offers TWO separate 3-bedroom, 1-full bath units, plus a single garage and private outdoor spaces. The UPPER UNIT features some newer windows (2021), a bright kitchen with garden-door walkout to a private deck, and a primary bedroom with twin closets and ensuite privilege to the 4-piece bath with newer vanity, tile and toilet.
