Despite being built in 1947, the MLS description explicitly states that 'Both units were updated just couple years ago with new kitchens and new baths and more.' The images confirm this, showcasing a gourmet kitchen with modern white shaker cabinets, marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and subway tile backsplash. The bathrooms feature luxurious finishes, including double vanities, contemporary fixtures, and stylish tiling. Refinished hardwood floors, premium carpet, and dual-pane windows further contribute to the property's virtually new condition, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Unit: The property includes a cozy lower 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit currently rented at $1,500/month, providing immediate and consistent rental income for the owner.
Flexible Living Configuration: Described as a 'duplex that lives more like a single family plus in-law unit,' this property offers versatile options for owner-occupancy with supplemental income, multi-generational living, or a full investment opportunity.
Extensive Recent Updates: Both units were updated just a couple of years ago with new kitchens and new baths, refinished hardwood floors, premium carpet, and dual-pane windows, minimizing immediate renovation needs for a buyer.
Scenic Bay and City Views: The large upper unit features a living room and breakfast area with desirable Bay and City Lights views, enhancing the property's aesthetic appeal and potential value.
Private and Landscaped Backyard: The property boasts a private backyard with vegetable boxes, a palm tree, and a majestic Redwood, offering a tranquil and functional outdoor space for relaxation and gardening.
Cons
Age of Structure (1947): While internally updated, the 1947 build year suggests potential for older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that may require future maintenance or upgrades beyond the recent cosmetic renovations.
Limited Information on Lower Unit Lease Terms: The description states the lower unit is rented but lacks details on lease duration, tenant status, or potential rent control implications, which could impact a buyer's flexibility or investment strategy.
Decorative Fireplace: The family room in the upper unit features a 'decorative fireplace,' indicating it is not functional for heating, which might be a missed amenity for some buyers seeking a working fireplace.
