About 1409 W Allen Avenue
Two blocks off Magnolia Avenue in Historic Fairmount, a 1920 duplex taken to the studs and rebuilt with designer finishes. Two self-contained units under one roof, roughly 1,036 square feet each, each with its own private entry, full kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. Live in one and rent the other, run both as furnished rentals, or hold a proven income property on one of Fairmount's best blocks.
The character is original and intact: wood floors, shiplap walls and ceilings, statement lighting, gas ranges, and built-ins. A mint-cabinet kitchen with open shelving and a vintage brass faucet, tufted seating, and warm, livable rooms that photograph as well as they show. Outside, the signature double-stacked covered porches run the full width of the house, strung with cafe lights and shaded by mature trees: balcony above, gathering space below.
Recent, documented updates take the guesswork out: a full 2018 designer renovation, exterior paint and updated siding in 2022, a new water heater in 2024, and individual electric meters. The numbers back it up. The property has averaged about $70,000 a year in furnished-rental income and is tracking toward $80,000 in 2026, owner-reported P&L is in transaction desk. Available fully turnkey with all furnishings, linens, and operating setup for an additional $25,000 under a separate bill of sale; seller's preference is to sell turnkey.
