Welcome to this legal two-family property in the heart of Southern Narragansett. From the curb, this charming wood-shingled ranch appears to be a quaint single residence located at the end of a dead-end street, but savvy investors will appreciate the income-generating potential of its two distinct units. The thoughtfully designed layout features a cozy 300-square-foot studio apartment on one side and a well-proportioned 564-square-foot two-bedroom unit on the other. Both units boast full bathrooms with stand-up showers and are finished with durable luxury & commercial vinyl flooring throughout, ensuring minimal maintenance for owners and lasting appeal for tenants. Recent updates include a updated kitchen in the studio apartment and a fresh coat of paint (2024), while practical amenities like individual 100-amp electrical panels for each unit's electric heat provide autonomy and efficiency. The property is serviced by town water and features a three-bedroom septic system. Location is key - enjoy easy access to local beaches while property owners benefit from low Narragansett tax rates. As a bonus, this property sits within a designated Opportunity Zone, offering potential tax advantages for investors. With its proven track record as an income-generating property and current lead certificate in hand, this side-by-side duplex presents an exceptional opportunity for investors seeking a turnkey rental property in one of Rhode Island's most desirable coastal communities.
