Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is described as clean but outdated, consistent with its 1949 construction. While essential systems like the roof and copper plumbing were updated approximately 10-12 years ago, the interior finishes, kitchen, and bathrooms require cosmetic modernization to meet current market standards and reach peak value.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

- Substantial Living Space
Boasting over 2,700 total square feet, the front 3-bedroom home offers a generous 1,770 square foot layout, providing a rare level of comfort and space for a multi-family property in this price bracket.
- Key Infrastructure Upgrades
Both structures benefited from roof replacements and copper repiping approximately 10-12 years ago, offering peace of mind regarding major systems and reducing immediate maintenance costs for the new owner.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Outdated Interior Condition
The interiors are described as clean but outdated, requiring a comprehensive cosmetic renovation to modernize the aesthetic and achieve the property's peak market value and rental potential.
- Compact Secondary Units
The two rear units are relatively small at 400 and 600 square feet respectively, which may limit the tenant pool to individuals or small households and restrict long-term rental growth compared to larger units.
