About this home
Multi Family · Built 1900 · Historic
Welcome to 211 W Simpson St, a Duplex located in the heart of Mechanicsburg Borough! This is a fantastic opportunity for investors or for someone looking to live in one unit and rent the other. The left unit is a charming efficiency apartment, move-in ready with an adorable fenced-in backyard perfect for relaxing. The right unit is a 2-bed, 1-bath home that needs a little TLC—ideal for adding value and increasing rental potential. Both units passed the borough rental inspection just a few months ago, and the property features separate electric meters and one off-street parking space—a rare find in this sought-after borough. Why Mechanicsburg? This historic, walkable community offers a small-town charm with easy access to major highways (Route 15, I-81, PA Turnpike) for convenient commuting. Enjoy highly-rated schools, year-round festivals like Jubilee Day, and proximity to local dining, shops, and parks. Whether you're an investor seeking strong rental demand or a homeowner looking to offset your mortgage with rental income, this duplex is an excellent opportunity. Don’t miss out—schedule your showing today!
