More Insights
Built in 1941 (85 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1941, features an extensively renovated owner's unit with modern updates including new flooring, a contemporary kitchen with stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and remodeled bathrooms with stylish vanities and tiling. This unit presents in excellent, move-in ready condition. While the condition of the second, tenant-occupied unit is unspecified, its active rental status suggests it is at least functional and well-maintained. The exterior also appears well-kept. Given the significant, recent renovations to the primary unit and the overall presentation, the property's condition is elevated to 'Good', indicating it is move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required, despite its age and the unknown specifics of the second unit.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Accessibility: Situated in the highly walkable Bowie Estates, less than a mile from downtown San Mateo, Caltrain, and San Mateo High School, with convenient access to Highway 101, offering unparalleled convenience.
Dual Income & Owner-User Potential: An ideal opportunity for both investors seeking strong income potential and owner-users, with the spacious owner's unit vacant for immediate occupancy and the second unit tenant-occupied on a flexible month-to-month lease.
Updated Owner's Unit: The 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom owner's unit boasts updated flooring, remodeled bathrooms, and an updated kitchen, providing a modern and move-in ready living space.
Desirable Duplex Amenities: Both units are equipped with in-unit washer and dryer, separate utility meters, and private garage parking, enhancing tenant appeal and simplifying property management.
Generous Lot & Parking: The property features a substantial 6,450 sq ft lot with ample yard space and on-site parking, a valuable asset in an urban environment.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3328, other record living area = 3865.
Property Age: Built in 1941, the property's age may suggest potential for older infrastructure or systems not explicitly mentioned as updated in both units, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades.
Unspecified Condition of Second Unit: While the owner's unit is updated, the description does not detail the extent of renovations or current condition of the tenant-occupied 3BD/2.5BA unit, which could imply future investment needs.
Tenant Management Considerations: The second unit's month-to-month lease, while offering flexibility, means a new owner will immediately need to address tenant relations, potential rent adjustments, or vacancy management.
