Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1991, this property has undergone significant 'recent upgrades' as stated in the description, including updated kitchens and baths, new lighting, appliances, luxury plank flooring (though some carpet is visible in images), an updated roof, and dual pane windows. These extensive updates, particularly to major systems and key interior spaces, make the property move-in ready and well-maintained, aligning with the 'Good' category's criteria of being 'extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years' and having 'systems well-maintained with minimal wear and tear.' While some visual elements like the kitchen pass-through tile and bathroom vanity style might not be ultra-modern, they appear functional and clean, indicating a solid renovation rather than a superficial one. The presence of a window AC unit is a minor detractor, but the overall condition and stated updates push it beyond 'Fair'.
This property is explicitly marketed as a 'Multi-family investment opportunity' and a 'Duplex,' offering flexible options like living in one unit and renting out the other, or accommodating multi-generational families, enhancing its income-generating appeal.
The main unit boasts significant recent upgrades including updated kitchens and baths, new lighting, appliances, luxury plank flooring, an updated roof, dual pane windows, and mirrored closet doors, reducing immediate renovation costs for a buyer.
The property benefits from a highly desirable 'mid-town' location with proximity to key amenities such as the golf course, Seabright beach, local markets (Staff of Life, Shoppers Corner), dog parks, public schools, and easy access to Highway 1.
With a 5,227 sq. ft. lot for a duplex, the outdoor space might be considered modest, potentially limiting expansive yard areas or further development opportunities compared to larger parcels.
Described as 'tucked away,' while offering privacy, this could imply a less prominent street presence or a slightly less direct access point, which might be a minor consideration for some buyers seeking high visibility or ease of entry.
Despite numerous interior and exterior upgrades, the description does not mention the presence of a central cooling system, which could be a drawback during warmer months for potential occupants.
