Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1959, the property is functional but dated. The kitchen features older laminate countertops and cabinetry, and the bathroom fixtures appear to be over 20 years old. While the front unit has central HVAC and hardwood floors, the overall interior aesthetic, including wall paneling and older flooring, requires modernization and minor updates to meet current market standards.

The property features two completely detached homes on a single lot, providing superior privacy and appeal for both tenants and owner-users compared to traditional attached duplexes.
Situated just 0.27 miles from the highly-rated Mark Keppel High School (Rating 9), the property is located in a desirable educational zone that ensures strong long-term demand and value retention.
Both the 3-bedroom and 2-bedroom units are equipped with only one bathroom each, which may be a drawback for larger families and could limit the maximum rental price point.
Built in 1959 and offered as a Trust Sale, the property likely requires immediate capital investment for cosmetic and system upgrades to meet modern tenant expectations.
