Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1927, this property is significantly aged. While the description mentions 'upgraded units,' the images reveal these are primarily cosmetic and budget-friendly updates, not extensive renovations. The front unit's kitchen has newer laminate countertops and white shaker-style cabinets, but features an older white gas range. The bathroom has a newer vanity but retains an older tub and basic fixtures. The back unit's kitchen is very basic with older appliances, and its bathroom appears less updated with older tiled walls. Flooring throughout is laminate. The property is functional and maintained, but major components and overall style are outdated, requiring further updates to meet modern standards.
The property is explicitly marketed as a 'Great investment opportunity' due to its multi-unit configuration and location.
Features two upgraded units (2 bed/1 bath and 1 bed/1 bath) on one lot, providing immediate rental income streams.
LAR2 zoning offers future development possibilities, adding significant long-term value and flexibility for investors.
Built in 1927, the property's age may imply potential for older infrastructure, requiring ongoing maintenance or future capital expenditures despite unit upgrades.
The total square footage of 1128 sqft for two units (a 2-bedroom and a 1-bedroom) is relatively small, which might limit the tenant pool or rental income potential compared to larger properties.
The property was recently sold for $350,000 (March 2024) and is now listed at $520,000 after an initial listing of $559,000, suggesting a potentially ambitious pricing strategy that has already required a significant price reduction.
