Key pros and cons
Top Pros:
Strong Income & Owner-Occupancy Potential: This duplex offers two spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, currently tenant-occupied on flexible month-to-month leases, providing immediate rental income or the option for an owner to live in one unit and rent the other.
Top Cons:
Property Age & Potential for Dated Systems: Built in 1954, the property is 70 years old, which may imply older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and potentially dated interior finishes that could require future capital investment beyond the recent roof updates.

More Insights
Built in 1954 (71 years old).
Condition: Built in 1954, this duplex shows signs of being well-maintained structurally, with a new roof, gutters, and downspouts completed less than a year ago. However, the interior, particularly both kitchens, are significantly outdated with older appliances, cabinetry, and countertops (one kitchen features very dated tile countertops). While one bathroom appears to have a newer vanity and subway tile, the overall aesthetic and heating systems (wall heaters, window AC) are functional but show their age and would require substantial updates to meet modern standards. The property is aged but maintained, fitting the 'Fair' category.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong Income & Owner-Occupancy Potential: This duplex offers two spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, currently tenant-occupied on flexible month-to-month leases, providing immediate rental income or the option for an owner to live in one unit and rent the other.
Premium Location with Excellent Accessibility: Situated in a desirable Redwood City neighborhood, the property boasts easy access to major highways (101 & 280), Caltrain, vibrant downtown amenities, and proximity to top employers, enhancing its appeal and value.
Recent Capital Improvements: A new roof, gutters, and downspouts were installed less than a year ago, significantly reducing immediate maintenance costs and enhancing the property's longevity and curb appeal.
Enhanced Tenant Privacy & Unit Amenities: Each unit benefits from a private single-car garage, private laundry facilities, and no shared living walls, contributing to higher tenant satisfaction. The back unit further offers a cozy fireplace and a private backyard.
Long-Term Investment & Development Upside: The property presents a rare blend of location, functionality, and explicitly mentions 'future development possibilities' and 'long-term upside' in a high-demand Bay Area market.
Cons
Property Age & Potential for Dated Systems: Built in 1954, the property is 70 years old, which may imply older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and potentially dated interior finishes that could require future capital investment beyond the recent roof updates.
Tenant Transition Considerations: While month-to-month leases offer flexibility, an owner-occupant wishing to move in would need to navigate tenant relocation, and there's a risk of vacancy during transition periods, impacting immediate cash flow.
Limited Detailed Interior Renovation Information: The description highlights exterior updates but provides limited details on recent interior renovations for both units, suggesting potential for significant interior upgrades to maximize market value or rental income.
