This turnkey investment opportunity located at 1755 and 1757 Liberty Drive represents a rare find in the current Akron market: a fully renovated duplex with immediate income potential. Situated in the desirable Wallhaven neighborhood, this property offers investors or owner-occupants a chance to capitalize on Akron’s steady rental demand while benefiting from recent capital improvements that minimize immediate maintenance concerns. With both units featuring modern updates and a layout designed for efficient management, this asset is positioned to outperform older, unrenovated stock in a market where updated properties are moving significantly faster than the median 35–42 days. The scope of renovation extends beyond cosmetic touches to include high-value infrastructure and aesthetic upgrades that justify premium valuation: New Kitchens & Bathrooms: Complete renovations of all wet areas, featuring modern cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures that serve as the primary drivers of rental value and tenant satisfaction. Mechanical Upgrades: Installation of new hot water tanks in both units, ensuring reliable hot water supply and eliminating a major utility-related repair risk for the next decade. Interior & Exterior Painting: A comprehensive fresh coat of paint inside and out, modernizing the property’s aesthetic, protecting the siding, and creating a clean, move-in-ready environment. New Light Fixtures: Installation of updated lighting throughout both units, improving energy efficiency and interior ambiance. New Flooring: Durable, low-maintenance luxury vinyl plank flooring installed throughout, enhancing visual appeal and reducing long-term replacement costs. Exterior & Storage Enhancements: A new driveway for improved curb appeal, a new shed for additional tenant storage, and a two-car garage providing secure parking and extra utility space—a rare and highly desirable amenity in this price range. Call today to schedule, all tours beginning on 9/14.
