Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1910 with 'Original Edwardian Construction,' this property shows significant age and a lack of major renovations in recent decades. The kitchen features very dated light wood cabinets, tile countertops, older appliances, and an outdated fluorescent light fixture, requiring substantial rehabilitation. The presence of wall heaters instead of central HVAC, along with very old wallpaper and finishes throughout, indicates that major systems and aesthetics are well past their expected lifespan and would require significant investment to meet modern standards. While the hardwood floors appear to be in decent condition, the overall property requires extensive updates and rehabilitation, particularly in the kitchen and likely bathrooms, to be comfortable and functional by contemporary standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Multi-Unit Income Potential: The property features a duplex with two 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, plus a separate 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single home, offering significant rental income potential or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Separate Parcels for Financing: Despite being gated together, the units are on separate parcels, which can significantly ease financing processes for individual components or offer more flexible investment strategies.
Large Lot Size: With a substantial 10,000 sq ft lot, the property provides ample outdoor space, potential for landscaping, or future development opportunities in an urban setting.
Historic Edwardian Charm: The single home boasts original Edwardian construction and hardwood floors, appealing to buyers who value historic character, architectural integrity, and classic craftsmanship.
Versatile Compound Configuration: Described as an 'Extra Large Compound for Groups or Multiple People,' this unique setup caters to diverse needs, from co-living to investment, offering exceptional flexibility.
Cons
Age and Potential for Deferred Maintenance: Built in 1910, the property is over a century old, which typically implies a higher likelihood of outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and potential for significant maintenance or upgrade costs not detailed in the description.
Conflicting Property Type Information: The listing's 'Single Family Residence' sub-type contradicts the description of a duplex and a separate single home on separate parcels, which could lead to confusion in zoning, financing, or appraisal.
Shared Laundry for Duplex: The duplex units utilize a 'Separate Share Laundry Room,' which may be a minor inconvenience for tenants or owners seeking private, in-unit laundry facilities.
