Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1950, shows clear evidence of significant and recent renovations. The bathroom, as depicted in the images, features a modern vanity, contemporary fixtures, recessed lighting, and stylish marble-look tile, suggesting an extensive update likely within the last 5-10 years. The exterior also appears well-maintained with fresh paint and updated windows. The listing description mentions 'beautifully designed' floor plans, implying updated interiors across the units. While the visible updates are of excellent quality, the lack of kitchen images and comprehensive interior views for all units, combined with the property's original 1950 build year, prevents a full 'Excellent' rating. It is move-in ready with modern finishes in the visible areas, aligning well with the 'Good' category's criteria of being extensively renovated within 5-15 years and having well-maintained systems.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Silicon Valley Location: Situated in Mountain View, a thriving city directly below Palo Alto, with strong economic drivers including proximity to major tech employers like Google (2.5 miles), Microsoft, and LinkedIn, ensuring high rental demand and potential for appreciation.
Income-Generating Quadruplex: A 4-unit residential income property (quadruplex) offers diversified revenue streams and is a desirable asset type for investors seeking consistent cash flow in a strong market.
Large Lot Size: The property sits on a substantial 10,225 square foot parcel, which is a significant asset in Mountain View, offering potential for future expansion, redevelopment (subject to zoning), or enhanced outdoor amenities.
Excellent Walkability & Proximity to Amenities: Located within walking distance (1-1.3 miles) to Downtown Mountain View (Castro Street) with numerous retailers and restaurants, and San Antonio Shopping Center, enhancing tenant appeal and lifestyle convenience.
Tenant-Friendly Community Amenities: The property offers convenient community amenities such as private covered parking and on-site laundry, which are attractive features for tenants and contribute to the property's rental value.

Cons

Age of Construction: Built in 1950, the property is over 70 years old, suggesting potential for outdated infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, roofing) and higher maintenance costs, which may require significant capital expenditure for upgrades.
Potential for Outdated Interiors/Systems: While units are described as 'beautifully designed,' the age of the building implies that interiors and core systems may not be fully modernized, potentially limiting rental income upside without further investment in renovations.
Lack of Modern Unit Amenities: The description highlights covered parking and on-site laundry but does not mention individual unit amenities such as air conditioning, in-unit laundry, or private outdoor spaces, which are increasingly desired by tenants in a competitive market like Mountain View.
