Description
“What if owning real estate didn’t feel out of reach anymore?” Welcome to 816/818 Pockwock Road, a property that feels less like a listing and more like an opportunity waiting to change the trajectory of your future. Tucked into the peaceful community of Upper Hammonds Plains, this beautifully updated over/under duplex offers something rare in today’s market: a realistic path to ownership, wealth-building, and flexibility. Picture this… you move into one bright, open-concept unit. Your morning coffee tastes better knowing the other unit is helping cover your mortgage. The pressure eases. The numbers finally make sense. This is house hacking done right — not a trend, but a strategy for those ready to play the long game. Each unit is thoughtfully designed with private entrances, updated kitchens, fresh flooring, modern finishes, and its own laundry.

Major updates like shingles, deck, walkways, and renovations mean you’re stepping into a property that’s already been cared for. Outside, the lot stretches wide and open — nearly an acre of space where kids can play, gardens can grow, and future plans can unfold. There’s room here not just to live, but to breathe. For the savvy investor, this is more than a duplex — it’s a foothold. A chance to expand your portfolio with a property that tenants will love, layouts that work, and long-term demand in a community just minutes from the city.
