Built in 1922, this property is well-maintained for its age, but the kitchens and bathrooms are significantly outdated. While some updates like newer carpet in the upper unit and white cabinets in the lower kitchen are present, they do not constitute a recent, extensive renovation. Appliances are a mix of older and some newer, and flooring includes dated vinyl/linoleum and older hardwood. The property is functional and livable but requires substantial aesthetic updates to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a duplex, offering two separate 1-bedroom/1-bathroom units, providing immediate rental income potential for investors or owner-occupiers.
Prime Old Town Location: Situated in 'Old Town' Pinole and directly across from the Senior Center, suggesting a convenient, community-oriented, and potentially walkable neighborhood.
Versatile Bonus Rooms: Both the street-level and downstairs units feature bonus rooms, adding flexible space for offices, dens, or additional storage, enhancing livability.
Spacious Kitchens: Each unit boasts a 'huge kitchen,' a desirable feature that provides ample space for cooking and dining, appealing to tenants.
Unique Opportunity: Described as a 'Unique, amazing opportunity,' indicating potential for value appreciation through renovation or strategic rental management in a historic setting.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1922, the property is over a century old, which may imply a need for significant updates to plumbing, electrical, and other systems, as well as ongoing maintenance.
Limited Unit Configuration: Both units are 1-bedroom/1-bathroom, which might limit the potential tenant pool to singles or couples, and may not appeal to families requiring more space.
Potential for Renovation/Updates: While offering 'unique opportunity,' the age and general description suggest that the property may require substantial investment for modernization to meet current market expectations and maximize rental income.
