Condition Rating
Fair

While the property benefits from recent major updates to its exterior (paint, roof, windows) and HVAC systems, the interior, particularly both kitchens and bathrooms, are significantly dated. The kitchens feature older laminate countertops, basic white appliances, and dated cabinetry and lighting. The bathrooms also show older vanities, fixtures, and tile work. The flooring throughout includes older carpets and linoleum. These interior elements appear to be from a renovation 20-30+ years ago, or are original to the 1950 build, and would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current market expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating Duplex: The property is explicitly designed as an income-producing duplex (284 & 284 1/2 Buchanan St.), offering flexibility for owner-occupancy with rental income or full investment potential.
Significant Capital Updates: Features recent major improvements including a newer roof, new exterior paint, energy-efficient double-pane windows, and HVAC systems for both units, reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Enhanced Outdoor Living & Practicality: Boasts beautifully landscaped front and back yards, dedicated storage units, and convenient covered parking with alley access, adding value and functionality for residents.
Family-Friendly Location: Situated in a prime location close to schools, making it highly attractive for families and ensuring consistent rental demand.
Energy Efficiency Features: The inclusion of energy-efficient double-pane windows and modern HVAC systems contributes to lower utility costs and improved comfort for residents.

Cons

Original Construction Age: Built in 1950, the property's underlying structure is over 70 years old. While updated, this could imply potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as fully replaced, which might require future attention.
Coalinga Market Limitations: Located in Coalinga, a smaller city, the property may experience slower appreciation rates and a more limited pool of potential tenants or buyers compared to properties in larger, more dynamic metropolitan areas.
Compact Unit Sizes: With units configured as 2-bed/1-bath and 1-bed/1-bath, and a total of 1481 sqft, the individual living spaces are relatively compact, which might not appeal to all prospective tenants or owner-occupants seeking more expansive accommodations.
