About this home
Welcome to 25 Bessey Street! This turnkey, fully legal duplex in the heart of St. Catharines presents an incredible opportunity for savvy investors or buyers looking to "house-hack." Both units feature a highly functional, tenant-preferred 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout. Designed for maximum privacy and low-maintenance landlord management, the property boasts separate hydro meters (meaning tenants pay their own electricity!) and independent, private laundry facilities in each unit. The main floor enjoys its own front door access, while the upper unit features a fully separate, private walk-up entrance from the rear. Tucked away on a quiet, family-friendly street with a peaceful backyard and 2 dedicated parking spaces, you truly get the best of both worlds. The location is unbeatable - just 2 minutes from the QEW and Hwy 406, offering a direct, easy commute to Brock University and Niagara College (a total goldmine for student rentals). Plus, you're just steps from top-rated schools, beautiful local parks, Fairview Mall, grocery stores, and major shopping hubs. Whether you want to add a high-yield asset to your portfolio or move into one unit and let the helper suite drastically cut down your monthly mortgage, this property is a guaranteed winner. Both units are completely ready to start generating income on day one!
