Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1905, the property has undergone a thoughtful and thorough remodel inside and out. The description highlights newer kitchens and bathrooms with granite countertops and modern cabinetry, along with stylish laminated wood flooring throughout. This indicates a significant, recent renovation that makes the property move-in ready with updated features, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years. While the exterior image shows an older architectural style, the comprehensive interior updates described elevate its condition considerably.

Extensive Modern Remodel: The entire property has been thoughtfully and thoroughly remodeled inside and out, featuring newer kitchens, bathrooms, granite countertops, modern cabinetry, fresh paint, and stylish laminated wood flooring throughout.

Versatile Use: Explicitly marketed as ideal for multi-generational living or investment potential, appealing to a broad range of buyers seeking flexible property usage.
Cons
Zoning Discrepancy: Officially zoned as Single Family Residential despite functioning as a duplex, which could present challenges for financing, permits, or future regulatory compliance.
Significant Price Reduction History: The property has undergone multiple price drops from an original list price of $949,000 to the current $831,915, potentially indicating initial overpricing or market resistance.
Compact Unit Size: With 1500 sqft divided into two 3-bedroom units, each unit is approximately 750 sqft, which is relatively small for a 3-bedroom configuration and may limit appeal for some buyers.
