Built in 1929 (96 years old).
Condition: Built in 1929, this triplex is nearly a century old. The images reveal severely outdated kitchens and bathrooms across all units, featuring old white cabinets, laminate countertops, dated white appliances (likely 20+ years old), and basic fixtures. Flooring consists of worn, dated tiles throughout. Visible wall scuffs, peeling paint, and older light fixtures indicate significant deferred maintenance. The property lacks modern amenities like central HVAC, relying on wall heaters. While functional, the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, including full renovations of all kitchens and bathrooms, major system upgrades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), and extensive cosmetic work to meet current living standards. The MLS description itself notes the 'Advanced Age of Property' and the likelihood of 'significant capital expenditures for updates to major systems'.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Taper Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Multi-Unit Income Potential: As a triplex, this property offers multiple income streams, making it an attractive investment for generating consistent rental revenue or for owner-occupancy with supplemental income.
Desirable & Convenient Location: Situated in a 'desirable Wilmington location' with excellent proximity to schools, shopping, public transportation, and freeway access, enhancing tenant appeal and property value.
Individual Unit Privacy & Amenities: Each of the three units benefits from its own private entrance and individual yard space, a significant draw for tenants seeking more privacy and outdoor living options.
High Rental Demand Area: Explicitly noted as being in a 'high-demand area' for rental income, suggesting a strong tenant pool and potentially stable occupancy rates.
Proximity to Quality Schools: Located very close to multiple schools, including highly-rated elementary and high schools (e.g., Fries Avenue Elementary 0.1 miles, Phineas Banning Senior High 0.39 miles), which is a strong selling point for families.
Cons
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1929, the property is nearly a century old, likely requiring significant capital expenditures for updates to major systems (plumbing, electrical, roofing) and general maintenance to meet modern standards and tenant expectations.
Limited Access for Showings: The 'Do not disturb occupants. Drive by only—showings by appointment' directive suggests potential difficulties in scheduling comprehensive viewings and inspections, which can be a hurdle for prospective buyers to fully assess the property's condition.
Lack of Financial & Condition Transparency: The listing provides no details on current rental income, lease terms, or the interior condition of the units, creating uncertainty for investors regarding immediate cash flow, potential vacancies, and necessary renovations.
