Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1979, benefits from significant system upgrades including two solar systems, a tankless water heater, copper plumbing, an upgraded electrical panel, and central AC/heating, along with newer interior and exterior paint. These improvements indicate good maintenance and functional reliability. However, the kitchen and bathrooms, as depicted in the images, feature dated cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and light fixtures (e.g., fluorescent panel in kitchen, basic shower stall), suggesting they have not undergone extensive modern renovation in recent years. While functional, these areas show clear signs of being outdated and would likely require cosmetic updates to meet current buyer preferences.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Middle School: Robert Frost Middle School (9/10).
Dual Income & Multi-Generational Living: The property features a main house (4 beds, 2 baths) and a separate ADU (2 beds, 1 bath), making it ideal for rental income or accommodating multiple families. Both units are currently rented, offering immediate cash flow.
Significant Energy & Utility Upgrades: Benefits from two solar systems (one owned, one leased), a tankless water heater, and an upgraded electrical panel, promising reduced utility costs and modern efficiency.
Extensive Property Modernization: Recent improvements include copper plumbing in both units, newer exterior and interior paint, and an alarm system, minimizing immediate maintenance needs for a new owner.
Comfort-Enhancing Amenities: Equipped with central air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans in every room, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, ensuring year-round comfort.
Convenient Location: Strategically located close to major transportation routes, shopping centers, and various restaurants, offering excellent accessibility and lifestyle convenience.
Cons
Age of Primary Structure: Built in 1979, the main dwelling is over four decades old, which could imply potential for future maintenance or replacement of original components not explicitly upgraded (e.g., roof, windows, foundation).
Limited Lot Size for Duplex: The 5,713 sqft lot may offer restricted outdoor space for two separate units, potentially impacting privacy or recreational use for tenants/occupants.
Leased Solar System Obligation: One of the two solar systems is leased, meaning the new owner will inherit an ongoing monthly payment rather than fully owning both energy-saving assets outright.
