Key pros and cons
Top Pros:
Exceptional Income Potential: The property is explicitly marketed for 'HUGE INCOME POTENTIAL' and comprises multiple distinct units: a Main House (5 beds, 3 baths), a Front House with two units (Unit A: 5 beds, 2 baths; Unit B: 1 bed, 1 bath), and a Back ADU (1 bed, 1 bath).
Top Cons:
Advanced Age of Construction: Built in 1913, the property is over a century old, suggesting a high likelihood of needing significant capital expenditures for system upgrades (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and general deferred maintenance in the main structures.

Built in 1913 (112 years old).
Condition: This property presents a mixed condition. The Back ADU has been fully remodeled, featuring modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, contemporary flooring, and updated bathrooms with subway tile and modern fixtures, placing it in good to excellent condition. However, the main house and front units, built in 1913, show significant age. Their kitchens have older wood cabinets, dated white appliances, and fluorescent lighting, while bathrooms feature pedestal sinks and older tiling. While functional and appearing maintained, these older units require substantial updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards. The overall property condition is therefore 'Fair' due to the blend of a recently updated ADU and the significantly older, outdated main structures.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Income Potential: The property is explicitly marketed for 'HUGE INCOME POTENTIAL' and comprises multiple distinct units: a Main House (5 beds, 3 baths), a Front House with two units (Unit A: 5 beds, 2 baths; Unit B: 1 bed, 1 bath), and a Back ADU (1 bed, 1 bath).
Immediate Income Generation: Three units (Front House Unit A, Unit B, and the Back ADU) will be delivered vacant, providing the new owner with immediate opportunities to place tenants at market rates and maximize rental income from day one.
Permitted & Remodeled ADU: The Back ADU is fully remodeled and permitted, adding significant value, ensuring legal compliance, and offering a high-quality, desirable rental unit.
Cost-Saving Solar Panels: A solar panel array is included, and the seller commits to paying it off at closing, offering reduced electricity costs for the property and an attractive eco-friendly feature without additional upfront expense for the buyer.
Diverse Unit Configuration: The property offers a versatile mix of unit sizes (ranging from 1-bedroom to 5-bedroom units across the structures), appealing to a wide range of potential renters and investment strategies.
Cons
Advanced Age of Construction: Built in 1913, the property is over a century old, suggesting a high likelihood of needing significant capital expenditures for system upgrades (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and general deferred maintenance in the main structures.
Discrepancy in Property Type/Unit Count: The property is listed as a 'Duplex' but described as having a Main House, a two-unit Front House, and a separate ADU. This inconsistency could lead to legal, zoning, or financing challenges and requires thorough clarification.
Incomplete Square Footage Information: The provided 'sqft' of 2156 likely represents only a portion of the property (e.g., the main house). The total square footage for all units combined is not specified, making it difficult to accurately assess the property's overall size, value per square foot, and full income potential.
