Property is move-in ready.
The front house, which is the focus of the images and detailed description, appears to be in good, move-in ready condition. While the property was built in 1946, it has undergone significant recent updates including dual-pane windows, vinyl wood flooring, a tankless water heater, and an updated bathroom with modern fixtures and flooring. The kitchen features granite countertops and a gas range, which are functional and clean, though the cabinets are an older style. The overall impression is well-maintained with no immediate renovation required for the main unit. The condition of the detached duplex units is not specified or pictured, which prevents a higher score for the entire property.
The property is a triplex, comprising a 2-bed/1-bath single-family home and a detached duplex with two 1-bed/1-bath units, offering significant rental income potential and diversification.
The listing highlights 'tremendous upside in rents' and the 'possibility to build additional income units,' suggesting future value appreciation and expansion opportunities.
The detached duplex is on a separate APN, providing flexibility for financing, potential future sale of individual components, or clearer legal separation and management.

Built in 1946, the property's age suggests potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that may require significant investment beyond the noted cosmetic upgrades.
While the front house has noted upgrades, the description lacks specific details regarding the condition or recent improvements of the two duplex units, which are crucial for assessing their rental readiness and future maintenance.
