More Insights

Built in 1929 (97 years old).
Condition: Built in 1929, this property shows significant age and neglect. While the roofs were replaced within the last three years, the exterior images reveal worn siding, unkempt yards, and older windows. The presence of window air conditioning units suggests outdated HVAC systems. Without interior photos, it's highly probable that the kitchens, bathrooms, and other internal systems (plumbing, electrical) are original or very old, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet current living standards. The property's value appears to be primarily in its development potential rather than the current condition of the structures.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Significant Development Potential: The property sits on an over half-acre parcel (24,732 sqft) with stated potential to build up to 16 units, offering substantial future value for a savvy investor.
Established Income Stream: Currently configured as a triplex with three homes, providing an immediate opportunity for rental income.
Recent Major Updates: All three homes have been reroofed within the last 3 years, reducing immediate capital expenditure for a critical structural component.
Individual Utilities: Each of the three homes features individual utilities, including separate water meters, which simplifies property management and tenant billing.
Price Reduction: The property has recently undergone a $10,000 price reduction, making it a more attractive and competitive investment opportunity.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =24732, other record lot size in square feet = 24829.
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1929, the property is very old, suggesting potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and requiring significant renovation beyond the recent roof updates.
Development Due Diligence Required: The stated potential to build up to 16 units requires the buyer to conduct their own investigation with the building department, implying uncertainty, potential costs, and delays in realizing this upside.
Potentially Small Unit Sizes: With a total of 2768 sqft across three units, individual units are likely relatively small (~922 sqft each), which could limit rental income potential or tenant appeal compared to larger units.
