Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1925, has undergone significant and recent updates, including electrical and copper plumbing, making it 'turn-key' and move-in ready. The interiors feature updated laminate and tile flooring, fresh paint, and functional ceiling fans. While the kitchen has dated red cabinets and basic countertops, it is clean and functional with a relatively modern gas range. The bathroom also appears recently updated with a new vanity and clean shower/tub enclosure. Although it lacks central air conditioning (relying on wall heaters and window units) and some fixtures are basic, the overall condition reflects good maintenance and substantial renovations that prevent it from being classified as 'Fair' or 'Poor'. The property is well-maintained with minimal wear and tear, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Taper Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a duplex with two 3-bedroom units, offering excellent potential for rental income or a live-in one, rent-the-other strategy, appealing to both investors and owner-occupants.
Turn-Key Condition: Both units are described as 'turn-key' and 'owner-loved,' suggesting they are well-maintained and ready for immediate occupancy or rental without significant upfront renovations.
Key Infrastructure Upgrades: Significant updates to essential systems, including updated electrical and copper plumbing, reduce potential future maintenance costs and enhance the property's long-term value.
SB9 Development Potential: The mention of 'SB9 potential' indicates opportunities for future expansion, subdivision, or adding additional units, which could significantly increase the property's value and density.
Vacant Units: Both units being vacant provides immediate flexibility for the new owner to set market rents, select tenants, or occupy one or both units without the complexities of tenant relocation.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-10-10. The sold price is $815,000.00.
Age of Property: Built in 1925, the property is nearly a century old, which, despite updates, may still present challenges with original structural components, insulation, or other systems not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Lack of Modern Comforts: The description does not mention central air conditioning, which is a common expectation in modern homes and could be a drawback for tenants or owner-occupants during warmer months.
Limited Lot Size for Full SB9 Potential: While SB9 potential is a strength, the 4,982 sqft lot size might impose limitations on the extent of additional development or expansion that can be realistically achieved, potentially requiring creative design solutions.
