Property is moderate renovation needed.
Originally built in 1924, this duplex is well-maintained and described as turn-key with recent partial upgrades including new windows, new showers, and flooring in one unit. However, given its century-old age and the description of only 'some upgrades' rather than a full-scale modern renovation of all major systems and both units, it fits the 'fair' criteria. It shows as an aged property kept functional through regular upkeep and targeted improvements rather than a comprehensive contemporary remodel.
The property sits on a generous 7,500 sqft lot that is already city-permitted for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering a significant value-add opportunity to increase density and rental income.
This duplex features separately metered gas and electric panels and is currently generating steady income, making it an ideal, low-friction asset for investors or owner-occupants.
With new windows, updated showers, and new flooring in one unit, the property benefits from reduced immediate maintenance needs and improved energy efficiency.
At only 1,062 total square feet for two units, the individual living areas are exceptionally small, which may limit the tenant pool to smaller households and impact long-term rental rates.
Originally constructed in 1924, the property may require ongoing monitoring and potential upgrades to century-old systems like plumbing and electrical that are common in homes of this era.
