Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1964, this duplex shows signs of age. While the front unit has 'recent upgrades' with a more modern kitchen (dark cabinets, updated sink) and bathroom (white vanity, modern fixtures), and wood-look laminate flooring in bedrooms, the living areas retain older tile and rely on wall heaters and window AC units. The rear unit's kitchen appears older with white cabinets and speckled countertops, though it has stainless steel appliances. The overall condition suggests regular maintenance and some functional updates, but not an extensive, recent renovation across both units that would elevate it to 'Good' status. Many components are functional but show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria.
Middle School: Robert Frost Middle School (9/10).
This duplex offers an excellent opportunity for an owner-user to live in one unit and rent out the other, significantly offsetting mortgage costs, or for an investor seeking two income streams.
The property sits on a substantial 11,054 sqft lot, providing ample outdoor space, privacy, and potential for future landscaping or expansion.
Built in 1964, the property is 60 years old, which may indicate older infrastructure, systems (plumbing, electrical), and potential for deferred maintenance in areas not explicitly upgraded.
While the front unit has recent upgrades, the description does not detail the condition or recent renovations of the larger 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rear unit, suggesting potential for future investment.
Several nearby public elementary and middle schools have lower ratings (e.g., 2, 3, 4), which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier educational institutions.
Great opportunity to own a duplex in Sylmar on a large lot with excellent owner-user or investment potential. The front unit offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with recent upgrades, while the rear unit features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a spacious private backyard. A two-car garage is located between the units, with one garage space per unit. Ideal for a buyer looking to live in one unit and rent the other, helping offset the mortgage and make homeownership more affordable.
