Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1906, this property has undergone extensive modern renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen features contemporary two-tone cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (range, microwave, dishwasher), modern countertops, and a stylish backsplash. The bathroom also boasts a modern vanity, sink, mirror, and updated fixtures. New wood-look tile/laminate flooring is consistent throughout the living areas. While the original structure is very old and the heating/cooling appears to be via wall-mounted units rather than central HVAC, the visible living spaces are move-in ready, well-maintained, and reflect updates likely within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income Potential & Legality: The property is a legally permitted and profitable Airbnb, offering immediate income generation and a proven business model.
Versatile Zoning: Dual residential/commercial zoning provides exceptional flexibility for various uses, including a primary residence, office space, or continued investment.
Prime Downtown Location: Situated in a highly desirable downtown area, ensuring strong demand, excellent walkability, and potential for appreciation.
Desirable Views: Features west-facing views of the downtown skyline, adding significant aesthetic appeal and enhancing the property's value.
Valuable Outdoor & Parking Amenities: Includes a private gated front yard, dedicated driveway parking, and a rear patio, which are significant and rare advantages in a dense urban environment.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for three bedrooms, this can be a significant inconvenience for families, multiple occupants, or guests, potentially impacting its appeal and functionality.
Historic Property Age: Built in 1906, the property's age may imply potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical), higher maintenance costs, or the need for extensive renovations to meet modern living standards.
Compact Living Space: At 844 square feet for three bedrooms, the interior living space is relatively small, which might feel cramped or limit its appeal to buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
