Condition Rating
Fair
This 1923-built property is aged but appears to be maintained through regular upkeep. The main house kitchen features updated countertops but retains older cabinets, dated tile flooring, and an older white gas range, indicating a renovation likely 15-30 years ago rather than recent. The detached studio's kitchen is very basic with laminate countertops and simple wood cabinets. Bathrooms are functional but also appear dated. The presence of window AC units suggests a lack of modern central cooling. While livable, the property requires significant cosmetic and amenity updates to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Versatile Detached Studio: The property includes a detached studio with a full kitchen and bath, offering significant flexibility for rental income, guest accommodation, or a dedicated home office/art space.
Unique Zoning Potential: Located in a commercial zone with grandfathered residential zoning, this property presents diverse possibilities for future use, including potential mixed-use or business ventures, subject to city verification.
Vintage Architectural Charm: Built in 1923, the home retains its charming vintage character, appealing to buyers who appreciate historical aesthetics and unique architectural details.
Strategic Location: Its proximity to a junior college enhances its appeal for potential student or faculty rentals, or for businesses catering to the academic community, offering strong demand drivers.
Income/Multi-Generational Living Potential: The separate, fully equipped studio provides an excellent opportunity for generating rental income or accommodating multi-generational living arrangements, adding significant value.
Cons
Zoning Verification Required: Buyers are explicitly required to verify zoning and possible usage with the city, indicating potential complexities or limitations that need thorough due diligence.
Age-Related Maintenance & Systems: As a 1923 build, the property may have older systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and require ongoing maintenance or significant updates, potentially incurring additional costs for a buyer.
Compact Main House Footprint: The main house's approximate 900 sq ft is relatively small for a 2-bedroom home, which might limit living space and appeal for buyers seeking more expansive interiors.
