Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1947, this triplex has undergone significant and recent updates that make it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. Key improvements include a newly replaced roof (January 2024), new water heater and pressure regulator (November 2024), updated HVAC systems, and new windows. All units feature modern laminate flooring and tiled bathrooms with pedestal sinks. The front 2-bedroom unit boasts a remodeled kitchen with white shaker cabinets, Corian countertops, and a stainless steel sink. While some appliances are white and light fixtures are basic, and updates vary 'in degrees' across units, the major systems and visible aesthetic elements are well-maintained and functional, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Kester Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Strong Investment Opportunity: This triplex offers a compelling investment opportunity with a diverse unit mix (two 2-bed/1-bath, one 1-bed/1-bath) and flexibility for both mid-term and long-term furnished tenancies, ideal for portfolio expansion or owner-occupancy with income.
Significant Recent Capital Improvements: Major updates include a newly replaced roof (January 2024) and recent replacement of the back unit's water heater and water pressure regulator (November 2024), reducing immediate capital expenditure concerns for a new owner.
Updated Units with Modern Amenities: All units have received various updates including laminate flooring, tiled bathrooms with pedestal sinks, new windows, and HVAC systems. The front 2-bedroom unit also features a remodeled kitchen with new cabinets, a stainless steel sink, and Corian countertops.
Ample Parking & On-site Laundry: The property boasts a 3-car detached garage building facing an alley, a covered carport, and a dedicated laundry room equipped for two sets of washer and dryer, providing significant convenience for tenants.
Desirable Unit Feature: The back 2-bedroom unit offers a private, fenced-in patio with an orange tree and direct garage access, creating an exclusive, ADU-like living experience that enhances its appeal.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1947, the property's underlying structure is over 75 years old. While updates are noted, an older foundation and infrastructure may lead to unforeseen maintenance issues or higher long-term upkeep costs in areas not explicitly renovated.
Varying Degrees of Updates: The description states units were 'updated in various degrees,' implying that renovations may not be uniform or comprehensive across all units, potentially requiring further investment to standardize quality or address remaining older elements.
Lower-Rated Local Schools: Several nearby elementary schools have lower public ratings (e.g., 1-3 out of 10), which could be a deterrent for potential owner-occupants with school-aged children, potentially narrowing the buyer pool beyond pure investors.
