Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1955, this duplex presents a mixed condition. The front unit benefits from a recently remodeled kitchen with modern cabinets, granite countertops, and recessed lighting, along with new laminate flooring in one bedroom and central air & heat. However, the second unit's kitchen (as seen in Image 3) and the bathroom (Image 7) are significantly dated, featuring older cabinets, tile flooring, and a very dated pink/peach tiled shower surround. The back unit also lacks central air, relying on a wall unit for heat. While some areas have received updates, the overall property, particularly the unrenovated sections, shows its age and requires minor to moderate updates to bring it to a consistent, modern standard. The dated elements are functional but clearly outdated, preventing a 'Good' rating, but the recent updates in the front unit keep it from being 'Poor'.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: This property is a 2-unit duplex, with each unit offering 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, providing excellent potential for rental income or an owner-occupier to live in one unit and rent out the other.
Recent Upgrades in Front Unit: The front unit features a remodeled kitchen with a bay window and new laminate flooring in one bedroom, enhancing its modern appeal and tenant desirability.
Individual Garages & Private Yards: Each unit benefits from its own 1-car garage and private yard area, offering valuable amenities for tenants including parking and outdoor living space.
Accessibility Features: The front unit includes a slab walkway designed for handicap access, broadening its appeal and potential tenant base.
Central HVAC in Front Unit: The front unit is equipped with central air and heat, providing modern comfort and a desirable amenity for occupants.
Cons
Inconsistent HVAC Systems: Only the front unit has central air and heat; the back unit relies on a wall unit for heat, indicating a lack of central air conditioning and potentially less efficient heating for the second unit.
Partial Modernization: While the front unit has some key upgrades, the description does not specify similar renovations for the back unit or other areas of the property, suggesting potential for future investment to bring both units to a consistent modern standard.
Property Age & Potential Deferred Maintenance: Built in 1955, the property's age may imply older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and potential for deferred maintenance in areas not explicitly mentioned as remodeled, which could require future capital expenditures.
