Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1910, the property is aged but appears to be maintained and functional. The main house bathroom shows some recent updates with modern tiling and a glass shower door, but the vanity is older. Both kitchens are significantly outdated with older cabinets, countertops (tile in main house), and appliances (except for a newer refrigerator in the back unit). Flooring is a mix of dated tile, worn carpet, and basic laminate. While the property has central air and a finished basement in the main unit, indicating some past updates, it requires substantial cosmetic modernization and kitchen/bathroom renovations to meet current quality standards. It is livable but shows clear signs of being outdated.
The property features two detached homes with separate utility meters on one lot, offering significant rental income potential, flexibility for an in-law unit, or a home office, explicitly marketed as an 'Investors Dream'.
