Property Description
Looking for a home that pays you back? This semi-detached two-unit property in Columbia, PA delivers the flexibility every savvy buyer craves—whether you're house hacking your way to financial freedom or adding a reliable rental to your portfolio. Unit 1 (First Floor) : 2 bedrooms, 1 bath with a bright and practical layout and side porch. Private in-unit laundry (no coins, no waiting, no excuses).
Unit 2 (Second & Third Floors) : 2 bedrooms plus a bonus room on the 3rd floor (office, playroom, or “Netflix cave”), 2nd floor balcony for morning coffee or “escape-the-roommate” breaks. Dedicated laundry (yes, both units have their own!)
Bonus Points: Off-street parking—no more circling the block like a vulture , Semi-detached = less noise, more privacy
Think about it: Live downstairs while your upstairs tenant pays for your mortgage, Wi-Fi, and maybe even your Friday night takeout habit. Or, skip the house hack and let both units bring in steady rent while you collect passive income like a pro.
Why Columbia, PA? Columbia isn't just any small town—it's got personality. Sitting pretty along the Susquehanna River, you can kayak by day and grab a craft beer by night. Antique shops, art galleries, and quirky local eateries line the downtown streets, while hiking trails and scenic overlooks are just minutes away. And with Lancaster and York a quick drive in either direction, you get the best of both worlds: small-town charm with big-city access.
