More Insights
Built in 1954 (71 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1954, making it 70 years old. While the listing states it is 'well-maintained' and one of the three units has been 'recently updated' with 'modern cabinets' and 'new flooring,' the other two units are described as 'charming bungalow-style,' suggesting they retain older features and styles. The cooling systems are not central throughout, with one unit having wall A/C and the largest unit not explicitly mentioning A/C, indicating outdated climate control. The property is functional, but its age and partial updates mean it shows signs of being outdated and would benefit from further modernizations in the older units.

Ample On-Site Parking: The property boasts significant parking capacity, including a single-car garage for the front unit, a shared two-car garage for the middle/rear units, and additional on-site parking for up to six vehicles, a valuable asset in urban areas.
Unit-Specific Amenities: Units offer desirable amenities such as wall A/C in the front unit, A/C in the middle unit, in-unit washer/dryer for the front, double washer/dryers for the middle/rear, and a spacious private yard/patio for the back unit, enhancing tenant appeal.
Recent Updates & Maintenance: The property is described as 'well-maintained,' with the middle unit recently updated with modern cabinets and new flooring, suggesting a proactive approach to property upkeep and tenant satisfaction.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1954, the property is 70 years old. While described as well-maintained, older properties can incur higher maintenance costs or require significant capital expenditures for major system replacements (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) in the future.
Shared Facilities: The middle and rear units share a two-car garage and double washer/dryers. Shared amenities can sometimes lead to tenant disputes or require more active management to ensure equitable use and maintenance.
Limited Central Cooling: While individual units have A/C (wall A/C for front, A/C for middle), the absence of central air conditioning throughout all units could be a drawback for some tenants, particularly during warmer months, potentially impacting rentability or tenant comfort.
