Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1925, the property appears to be move-in ready with significant functional updates including updated electrical and copper plumbing. The images show clean interiors with updated flooring (laminate and tile) and fresh paint. The kitchens feature functional, albeit somewhat dated, red cabinets, basic countertops, and standard appliances. Bathrooms are clean with updated vanities and functional shower/tub combos. While the style of the kitchens and bathrooms is not modern and the property lacks central HVAC (relying on window AC units and wall heaters), the overall condition suggests it has been well-maintained and recently updated enough to be considered 'turn-key' without immediate major renovations required.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Taper Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Strong Income & Investment Opportunity: This duplex features two vacant 3-bedroom units, providing immediate rental income potential for investors or the option for an owner-occupant to live in one unit and rent the other.
Significant Development Potential: The property offers 'SB9 potential,' indicating opportunities for future lot splits or the addition of more units, which could substantially increase its long-term value and density.
Key System Upgrades: Important infrastructure updates, including updated electrical and copper plumbing, reduce immediate major repair concerns often associated with properties of this age.
Turn-Key & Well-Maintained: Described as 'turn-key' and 'owner-loved, never rented—pride shows,' the units appear ready for immediate occupancy or rental, suggesting a history of good care and maintenance.
Desirable Lot Features: A gated corner lot with separate driveways enhances privacy, security, and provides convenient, independent access for both units.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-10-10. The sold price is $815,000.00.
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1925, the property is nearly a century old. While some systems are updated, other original components (e.g., roof, foundation, insulation, windows) may require significant attention or replacement in the near future.
Limited Unit Size: With 1686 sqft divided into two 3-bedroom units, each unit is relatively compact (approximately 843 sqft), which might be a constraint for larger families or tenants seeking more spacious living arrangements.
Absence of Modern Comforts: The property description does not highlight modern amenities such as central air conditioning or extensive kitchen/bathroom renovations beyond being 'turn-key,' which could be a drawback for some prospective tenants or buyers.
