Unit 2 offers a front bedroom, central living room, full bathroom, rear kitchen with washer/dryer hookup, and a fire-escape exit leading to the expansive backyard. The layout also provides the potential to reconfigure the floor plan and convert Unit 2 into a two-bedroom unit—creating even stronger rental value. With heat and finishing work added, projected rental rates based on area rents are approximately $950–$1,200 for a 1-bedroom and $1,200–$1,400 for a 2-bedroom, offering solid cash-flow potential and an estimated gross of up to $24,000 annually for the duplex. 426 Highland Ave — Full Shell Ready for Vision Perfect for investors seeking a meaningful value-add project, this property currently has no floors and requires a full rehabilitation.
