Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Originally built in 1947, this property is a triplex consisting of a main house and two conversions (garage and interior). While the listing describes 'updated' kitchens and bathrooms with laminate and tile flooring, the property reflects the 'fair' category as an aged home maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates rather than a comprehensive modern renovation. The non-traditional layouts of the converted units and the 1947 infrastructure suggest functional but dated systems typical of a well-kept older multi-unit property.

This triplex configuration, featuring three distinct living units plus a 250 sqft detached structure with utilities, offers significant income-generating opportunities for investors or house-hackers.
- ADU Development Opportunity
Situated on a generous 7,405 sqft lot, the property may qualify for official ADU status under CA AB2533, providing a clear path to increasing density and long-term property value.
- Modernized Interiors
All units feature functional updates, including refreshed kitchens and bathrooms with a mix of laminate and tile flooring, reducing the need for immediate capital expenditure.
