About This Home
Live near rent-free in this all-brick duplex in Old Oaks, steps from Nationwide Children's Hospital! Perfect house hack: live in one side, rent out the other, and let your tenant cover the mortgage. One side is a proven Airbnb/STR generating $2,400/month--instant cash flow from day one. The other side is near-turnkey and vacant, needing only light cosmetics, ready for an owner-occupant or long-term tenant. Each 1,800+ sq ft unit offers 3BD/1BA plus a walk-up attic ideal for a 4th bedroom or bonus room, wood flooring, white shaker cabinetry, granite counters, and stainless appliances. Each side has its own fenced backyard and detached garage. Minutes from Olde Towne East, German Village, and Downtown in a fast-growing neighborhood--a rare chance to live affordably while building equity, or add a cash-flowing asset to your portfolio.
