More Insights
Built in 1904 (122 years old).
Condition: This historic 1904 triplex is described as 'beautifully preserved' and 'turnkey,' indicating a high level of maintenance and functionality. While one unit features a recently updated kitchen and bathroom with modern finishes (butcher block countertops, subway tile, modern vanity), the other two units have functional but dated kitchens and bathrooms with older appliances and finishes. However, all units appear clean and well-maintained, with consistent hardwood flooring throughout. The exterior is well-kept, and the inclusion of paid solar panels is a significant modern upgrade to a major system. The property is move-in ready and does not require immediate major renovations, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria, even if some aesthetic updates would be beneficial for the dated units.

Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1904, the historic nature of the property may imply higher ongoing maintenance costs and potential for outdated systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) compared to newer constructions.
Shared Laundry Facilities: Two of the three main units share an additional laundry area on the back porch, which may be less appealing to some tenants seeking in-unit laundry.
All-Inclusive Utilities: While attractive to tenants, the landlord covering all utilities means variable operating costs and less control over tenant consumption, potentially impacting net income.
