1509 E Bijou ST Downtown Colorado Springs Duplex - House Hack or Add to Your Portfolio An income-producing duplex in one of the city's strongest rental submarkets, steps from downtown and Memorial Hospital-a location that keeps both units in constant demand. Live in one side and let the tenant's rent cover roughly half your mortgage, or rent both units for immediate cash flow. The fundamentals: Two large units, each nearly 2, 000 sq ft, with private fenced yards and separate laundry Separately metered for electricity-tenants pay their own power, simplifying expenses Detached two-car garage that rents to either side for additional monthly income, plus covered parking alongside Massive finished basements in both units add usable bedroom and living space, supporting stronger rents Roof and furnace both updated in 2016-lower near-term capital expense and deferred maintenance risk East unit: Updated kitchen, main-level laundry, and three bedrooms plus a bonus study/flex room offer broad appeal, especially for people who want single-level living. West unit: Spacious living room, large eat-in kitchen, two large bedrooms on the main level, an oversized finished basement with another bedroom, a bonus/flex/study and a large rec room-square footage that commands a premium. This well maintained and move-in ready on both sides, this duplex offers multiple income levers, a rentable garage, and separate parking. Whether you're house-hacking your first owner-occupied investment or expanding a rental portfolio in a proven location, the location and separation here make it easy to fill and easy to hold.
