Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1908, this duplex has received recent cosmetic updates, including fresh paint, some updated flooring (laminate and some tile), and modern flush-mount lighting in several rooms. The kitchen, while functional with a modern stainless steel refrigerator, features dated light wood cabinets and dark granite-style countertops, suggesting an older renovation (likely 15-20+ years ago). No bathroom images were provided for assessment. Heating appears to be via wall-mounted units, not central HVAC. The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but its age and the dated elements in the kitchen and heating system indicate it would benefit from further minor updates to meet current standards, aligning with a 'fair' condition.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a fully vacant duplex, ideal for investors seeking rental income, multi-generational living, or owner-occupants looking to offset mortgage costs.
Vacant Units: Being fully vacant, the property offers immediate flexibility for a new owner to set market-rate rents or occupy one unit without the complexities of existing tenants.
Individual Unit Amenities: Each spacious unit features 3 bedrooms, private entry, its own yard, and dedicated laundry/storage room, enhancing tenant appeal and functionality.
Well-Maintained Condition: The property is described as freshly painted and well-maintained, suggesting reduced immediate capital expenditures for a new owner.
Unique Architectural Features: The upstairs unit boasts a large primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings and a walk-in closet, adding character and a premium feel.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1908, the property's age may indicate potential for outdated major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and higher long-term maintenance requirements, despite recent cosmetic updates.
Lower-Rated Schools: Several nearby elementary and high schools have low ratings (1-2), which could be a deterrent for families with school-aged children and potentially impact long-term appreciation or tenant pool.
Limited Lot Size: The lot size of 2835 sqft is relatively small for a duplex, potentially limiting outdoor space for residents or future expansion opportunities.
