More Insights
Built in 1938 (87 years old).
Condition: This triplex, built in 1938, presents a mixed condition. Two of the three units have been thoughtfully upgraded with modern kitchens featuring white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and subway tile backsplashes, along with updated bathrooms with contemporary vanities and subway tile showers. These two units appear to be in good, move-in ready condition with hardwood flooring throughout. However, the third unit is significantly outdated, featuring an older kitchen with wood cabinets, tile countertops, and older white appliances, as well as an older bathroom with a cultured marble vanity and dated tile. While the exterior and common areas appear well-maintained, the substantial age of the property (1938) and the unrenovated state of one unit, coupled with the lack of explicit mention of updates to major building systems (like HVAC, electrical, plumbing for the entire structure), place the overall property condition in the 'Fair' category. It is aged but maintained, with recent updates in two units, but requires significant renovation in the third unit to achieve a consistent modern standard.

Limited Unit Configuration: All three units are 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom, which may limit the potential tenant demographic and rental income ceiling compared to properties offering larger unit types.
