These aren't apartments. They're houses, just stacked. That's how a current resident describes 1878-1880 Carter Ave, and once you step inside, it's easy to see why. This is the kind of duplex buyers rarely find and investors immediately recognize: spacious, solid, and thoughtfully updated. Welcome to this classic all-brick top-and-bottom duplex in Akron, where each unit offers approximately 1,200 square feet of living space, complete with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The scale alone sets this property apart, delivering room sizes and layouts that feel far more like single-family homes than typical multi-unit living. Major improvements provide confidence from day one. A new roof installed in 2025, a brand-new garage door in 2025, and a newly rebuilt chimney handle key structural updates, while newer electric service and newer hot water tanks add long-term reliability and efficiency. Each unit features a private entrance, generous living spaces filled with natural light, and functional kitchens designed for everyday comfort. A detached garage adds convenience, with each unit enjoying its own dedicated parking space. Flexibility is where this property truly shines. Unit 1880 is currently vacant, creating an ideal opportunity for an owner-occupant to move in while generating income from the other unit. For seasoned investors, this is the type of property that consistently performs, offering strong fundamentals, desirable layouts, and major updates already complete. To provide additional peace of mind, a systems warranty through Guard Home Warranty is also being offered. Opportunities like this don't come along often. Spacious layouts. Solid brick construction. Major updates already done. This is the kind of duplex buyers don't just like, they wait for.
