Two tenancies in the one building! This is a superb investment opportunity with an exemplary rental history and a high rate of return (7.3% gross rental return on asking price). This 2 x 3 bedroom torrens-title duplex offers surprising size for its tenants with each side enjoying formal lounge, dining areas, individually fenced backyards, individual laundries, large master bedrooms and individual carports plus large lockable store rooms.
Owned by one of the directors of McKimm’s Real Estate since 2003 the property has been extensively improved over the years with new electrical wiring (2005), new sewer junction (2009), new carports (2011), new fencing (2012), new roof (2017) and new external paint (2017) amongst a long list of other upgrades.
Each side of the duplex has air conditioning and ceiling fans, there is good built in storage and the location is just 4 blocks from Aldi or 7 blocks from Grafton Shoppingworld. Despite being located on Grafton’s main street the traffic is lighter up this end and the proximity to the large Jacaranda Park (diagonally over the road) and the Grafton Base Hospital (two blocks around the corner) is handy.
