Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1950, this property is over 70 years old. The bathroom (Image 2) is in poor condition, featuring an outdated tub/shower insert, unfinished walls, and an old window, indicating a need for substantial renovation. The kitchen (glimpsed in Image 4) appears to have older cabinets, suggesting it is also dated. While some areas show newer laminate flooring (Image 3), these are cosmetic updates that do not address the overall age or likely condition of major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), which are prone to significant wear and potential failure given the property's age and visible deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Asset: Explicitly marketed as an 'income-producing duplex' with 'excellent rental potential,' making it an attractive opportunity for investors.
Strategic Location: Situated in a 'convenient area near schools, parks, shopping, and easy freeway access,' which significantly enhances its appeal to prospective renters.
Strong Market Fundamentals: Benefits from 'Sacramento's growing rental market and steady demand,' indicating a favorable and robust environment for rental property investment.
Duplex Configuration: As a duplex, it offers versatility for investors, allowing for two separate rental incomes or owner-occupancy with supplemental income, appealing to a broad range of buyers.
Proximity to Schools: Located very close to several schools, including Michael J. Castori Elementary (rated 5) just 0.24 miles away, which is a significant draw for families.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1950, the property is over 70 years old, suggesting potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and higher ongoing maintenance costs.
Compact Unit Sizes: With a total of 1404 sqft for a 4-bed, 2-bath duplex, individual units are likely quite compact, which could limit the tenant demographic or rental income potential compared to larger properties.
Significant Recent Price Increase: The property is listed at $474,900 after selling for $405,000 in August 2023, representing a substantial 17.2% price appreciation in less than a year, which warrants thorough market analysis for valuation justification.
