2203 Ventura Dr Santa Monica isn't known for duplexes-which is exactly the point. Surrounded mostly by single-family homes, this one sits in a pocket that feels a little quieter, a little more tucked in. Two units, each 2 bed, 1 bath with carports and dedicated storage, all single-story on a large, fenced lot that gives both sides real privacy. Updates over time-tile, flooring, paint, new electric panels and wiring throughout both units-keep things current without trying too hard. The current owner has also has proffessionally installed network with exterior cameras, allowing you to monitor the property remotely, along with Google Fiber for fast, reliable connectivity. You're minutes from St. Edward's University and roughly five to downtown Austin, which is why properties in this area rarely sit long. Nearby, you've got go-to spots like Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden, Perla's Seafood and Oyster Bar, Neighborhood Sushi, and Cypress Grill-a mix that covers everything from casual afternoons to nights out without going far. Estimated ~$2, 200/month income puts cash buyers around an 8% cap rate. Works as a straight investment, but just as easily as a live/work setup or a lock-and-leave with income coming in. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is approximately 7-8 miles away, typically a quick 10-15 minute drive.
