Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1924 duplex is well-maintained with cosmetic refreshments such as fresh interior paint and refinished hardwood floors. However, given its century-old construction and the description of 'period details' and 'traditional style,' the property likely retains older mechanical systems and dated kitchen/bathroom layouts. It meets the 'Fair' criteria as an aged home maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates rather than a full modern renovation.
Both units are delivered vacant, providing a rare opportunity for an owner-occupant to move in immediately or for an investor to secure market-rate tenants without the constraints of existing lease terms.
The generous 5,050 sqft lot and long driveway offer significant space for the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), allowing for increased density and enhanced long-term property value.
This 1924 duplex maintains its timeless character with period details, gleaming hardwood floors, and a cozy fireplace, all refreshed with modern interior paint to create an inviting atmosphere.
The property is served by local schools with low performance ratings (ranging from 2 to 4), which may limit its appeal to families and impact future resale velocity.
Given the property's 1924 construction, buyers should anticipate potential capital expenditures related to aging systems such as plumbing, electrical, or foundation typical of century-old homes.
This charming traditional-style duplex offers timeless character, versatile living spaces, and excellent investment potential. The upstairs unit showcases classic period details, gleaming hardwood floors, and fresh paint that create a bright and inviting atmosphere. Its spacious bedroom serves as a peaceful retreat with abundant natural light and a cozy fireplace. The downstairs unit features two comfortable bedrooms, ample closet space, and a full bathroom with a shower-over-tub combination. The open-concept kitchen is designed for everyday living and entertaining, complete with a generous walk-in pantry for extra storage. Outside, the expansive backyard offers endless possibilities—perfect for relaxing, gardening, or future development, with strong ADU potential for added income or multi-generational living. A long driveway provides convenient off-street parking and extends to the backyard for additional flexibility. With both units currently vacant, this is a prime opportunity for an owner-occupant seeking supplemental rental income, or for an investor looking to maximize the property’s full potential.
