Property Description
Investor alert! Welcome to 486 & 488 McDowell Ave, a fully vacant side-by-side duplex offering exceptional scale, flexibility, and upside in the heart of Hagerstown. Each unit features 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath, making this a true 6-bedroom, 2-bath income-producing asset with strong rental history and future value-add potential.
This property stands out as one of the largest duplexes in the immediate area, set on an oversized lot with a detached two-car garage—a rare find for comparable properties. Both units offer refreshed kitchens, original hardwood floors on the main level, and LVP flooring in upper-level living spaces, blending classic character with practical updates.
Previously operated as successful long-term rentals, the property is now delivered vacant, allowing investors or owner-occupants to renovate, reposition, and set market rents without disruption. The home needs cosmetic TLC, making it ideal for a value-add investor, house hacker, or portfolio expansion.
Conveniently located near downtown Hagerstown, major commuter routes, shopping, dining, and ongoing neighborhood reinvestment, this duplex presents a compelling opportunity to acquire scale, land, and income potential at an attractive price point.
Sold strictly As-Is. Inspections welcome for informational purposes only. Don't miss your chance to secure one of the most versatile multi-unit assets currently available in this pocket of Hagerstown.
