Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This 1925-built duplex is in good condition, having undergone significant renovations that modernize the living spaces while preserving its original architectural charm. The property is move-in ready, particularly the vacant garden-level unit which features updated finishes and a private deck. While the building is nearly a century old, the 'renovated' status indicates that the kitchens and bathrooms have been updated to contemporary standards, and the systems are well-maintained to support stable rental income. It falls short of 'excellent' only because it is not a brand-new construction and retains some classic elements rather than being a total 100% new-build replacement.
