Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1931, this property shows a mix of recent cosmetic updates and older components. While some units feature newer laminate flooring, fresh paint, and updated kitchen elements like dark shaker cabinets, white marble-look countertops, and stainless steel appliances, other units have more basic kitchens with unfinished-looking cabinets and visible water heaters. Bathrooms are functional with new vanities but retain older tubs. The presence of wall heaters indicates an outdated heating system. The property is clean and livable, but its age and the 'value-add' description suggest it requires further substantial renovation to modernize fully and maximize its potential, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Three out of four units are vacant (two 1-bedroom, one 2-bedroom), offering immediate flexibility for an owner-user or investor to occupy, renovate, or re-tenant without existing lease complications.
The property includes plans to convert 1-bedroom units into 2-bedrooms, providing a clear path to significantly increase rental income and property value.
