A smart opportunity in a sought-after Niagara Falls neighbourhood! This detached legal duplex offers two spacious, self-contained 2-bedroom units, separate entrances, designated parking and two separate hydro meters.

Its private entrance and designated parking create a true sense of independence for the unit.Upstairs, the second unit is another nicely laid-out 2-bedroom apartment complete with its own 4-piece bathroom, separate entrance and designated parking. With two similarly sized units, this property lends itself beautifully to a traditional duplex investment or an owner-occupied setup.The basement is accessed separately from the rear of the home, making it ideal for common laundry facilities, additional storage or workshop space without requiring access through either apartment. Outside, the property sits on a large lot with plenty of parking, including designated spaces for each unit.Located in a sought-after residential neighbourhood in central Niagara Falls, this property is within walking distance of everyday amenities including groceries, shopping, schools and public transportation.
