Understanding Zillow listings for Multi-Family Properties

Hey everyone,

This may be a dumb question, but I just want to make sure I'm reading these listings on zillow.com correctly. I'm currently looking for my first REI purchase in a multi-family duplex, triplex, or fourplex to house-hack.

Question #1: How exactly do I filter duplex, triplex, or fourplex search on zillow and make sure that it's for the full multi-family property and not just a single unit?

Question #2: I've been having difficulty interpreting whether some of the listings are just a single unit of a multi-unit property that's for sale or for the whole property.

Here's an example:

Dallas Duplex Listing

It shows that the unit count is 2, but the images and pricing lead me to think that it's only for one unit.  Again, this is probably a dumb question, but I figured I'm going to be full of them as I embark on my first purchase.  So, I might as well rip off the bandaid and start asking away.

Cheers,
