The big sell: Listing agent Darlene Lenfesty reports that five offers were received for this duplex in Port Coquitlam’s Glenwood district, selling in just one day for above the listed price. Despite some needed restoration (the property was sold as is, where is), the opportunity exists for future rental revenue from one or both sides. From the front, the two sideby-side homes look like mirror images of each other with identical balconies over brick-surround entrance porches and the same exterior finishing and architectural design. Inside, there are evenly sized carpeted bedrooms and reception rooms, four-piece bathrooms and forced air heating, while the outside features a large west-facing deck, a fenced yard, a single garage and additional parking available at the rear. The property sits on a 66-foot-by-122-foot lot and is located central to transit, shopping and commuter routes, as well as the Evergreen Line and Coquitlam Centre.
