Despite being built in 1954, the property has undergone extensive and recent renovations. The description explicitly states 'tastefully renovated with quartz countertops, updated appliances, modern flooring, and upgraded electrical.' The images confirm modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and updated white appliances in the kitchens, along with contemporary tiling, vanities, and fixtures in the bathrooms. Flooring is a mix of modern wood-look laminate and clean, updated carpeting. The overall condition of the renovated units appears virtually new and move-in ready, meeting current quality standards for rental properties.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime San Mateo Location: Situated in the quiet San Mateo Village, offering excellent proximity to major shopping centers (Hillsdale), grocery stores (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods), parks, and a short walk to major transportation arteries (El Camino Real, Hwys 92/101, Caltrain).
Extensively Renovated Units: All four 1-bedroom units have been tastefully updated with modern finishes including quartz countertops, updated appliances, new flooring, and upgraded electrical, ensuring high tenant appeal and reduced immediate capital expenditure.
Strong Financial Performance & Upside: Generates over $113,300/year with an in-place 4.00% cap rate, indicating solid current returns, and is located in a desirable submarket with clear upside potential for rental growth.
Tenant-Centric Amenities: Features like individual water heaters, his-and-hers closets, four covered carports, and an on-site, owned laundry facility enhance tenant comfort, convenience, and provide additional income.
Versatile Investment & Value-Add Potential: Ideal for both investors and owner-users, with a bonus side yard offering potential for additional parking, storage, or future development (e.g., ADU), adding long-term value.

Cons

Recent Price Reduction: The property has seen a significant price reduction from its original listing of $2,048,000 to $1,828,000, which may suggest initial overpricing or a need to attract more buyer interest.
Building Age & Potential System Updates: Constructed in 1954, the building is 70 years old. While units are renovated, the age of the core structure and unmentioned major systems (e.g., plumbing, roof, foundation) could necessitate future capital expenditures.
Limited Unit Diversity: All four units are 1-bedroom/1-bath, which might limit the potential tenant demographic compared to properties offering a mix of unit sizes, potentially affecting long-term rental market flexibility.
