Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

This 1951 triplex is well-maintained and functional but largely retains its original mid-century character and decor. While some updates are present, such as newer vinyl plank flooring and a split-system HVAC in the rear unit, the kitchens and bathrooms feature dated 1950s tiling and cabinetry. The property is move-in ready and shows pride of ownership, but it requires cosmetic modernization to meet contemporary 'Good' or 'Excellent' standards.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Great Schools

    Elementary School: Naples Elementary School (10/10).

  • Prime Coastal Location

    Situated in the heart of Belmont Shore, this property is within walking distance to the vibrant Second Street corridor and the beach, ensuring high tenant demand and long-term appreciation.

  • Rare Parking Assets

    The inclusion of a private garage for each of the three units is a significant competitive advantage in a high-density neighborhood where parking is notoriously difficult to find.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Dated Interior Finishes

    With much of the property retaining its original 1950s decor, a buyer should anticipate the need for modernization and cosmetic upgrades to achieve top-of-market rental rates.

  • Compact Unit Sizes

    The total square footage of 2,424 across three units results in relatively small living spaces, which may limit the property's appeal to tenants seeking more expansive floor plans.
