Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1957, this duplex has undergone extensive and crucial renovations, including a 40-year roof, completely re-piped copper plumbing, newer upgraded electrical service panels, and dual-pane windows. The kitchens and bathrooms are described as 'remodeled,' and while the kitchen images show oak cabinetry, basic countertops, and dated fluorescent lighting, they appear clean and functional. The hardwood floors are in good condition. These significant system updates make the property move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for major systems being functional and within their expected lifespan, even if some cosmetic elements are not ultra-modern.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located on the west side of Highway 101, bordering Palo Alto, offering convenient walk/bike access to Palo Alto's amenities, enhancing desirability and potential rental demand.
Income-Generating Duplex: As a single-story duplex with two separate 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, it provides excellent income potential for investors or flexible living arrangements for multi-generational families.
Extensive System Upgrades: Significant capital improvements include a 40-year roof, newer upgraded electrical service panels, and completely re-piped copper plumbing, reducing immediate maintenance concerns and adding long-term value.
Modern Interior Renovations: Both kitchens and bathrooms have been remodeled with modern finishes, including dishwashers, oak cabinetry, Kohler tubs, and sliding glass shower door enclosures, offering updated and appealing living spaces.
Desirable Features & Outdoor Space: Equipped with dual-pane windows, large and bright living/dining areas, two garages with washer/dryer hookups, and thoughtfully landscaped private yards for each unit, enhancing tenant appeal and quality of life.
Cons
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1957, while many systems are updated, the underlying structure's age could potentially lead to unforeseen issues not covered by the listed renovations.
East Palo Alto Address Perception: Despite its proximity to Palo Alto, the East Palo Alto address may carry a different market perception or school district considerations compared to a direct Palo Alto address, potentially affecting value or buyer pool.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a drawback for potential tenants or buyers during warmer months, especially given the extensive other upgrades.
