More Insights
Built in 1925 (101 years old).
Condition: Built in 1925, this triplex is described as 'well-maintained' and in 'Reported Good Condition,' suggesting regular upkeep. However, its significant age implies that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and interior finishes, including kitchens and bathrooms, are likely outdated, even if functional. The exterior image supports this, showing an older architectural style and materials that appear maintained but not recently updated. While not requiring substantial repairs, it would likely need minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic and efficiency standards.

Enhanced Tenant Privacy & Appeal: All units feature separate entrances, fostering privacy and making the property highly attractive to prospective tenants.
Desirable Neighborhood Setting: Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, predominantly surrounded by single-family residences, contributing to a stable and appealing living environment.
Valuable Off-Street Parking: A significant amenity in urban settings, each unit is allocated its own off-street parking space, adding convenience and value for tenants.
Reported Good Condition: The property is described as a 'well-maintained triplex,' suggesting it has been cared for, potentially reducing immediate capital expenditures for a new owner.
Cons
Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1925, the property's age may imply a need for ongoing maintenance, system updates (e.g., plumbing, electrical), or energy efficiency improvements in the future.
Sub-Optimal School Ratings: Several nearby public schools, including high schools, exhibit low ratings (1-2 out of 10), which could be a consideration for families and potentially impact long-term property value appreciation or tenant demographics.
Modest Lot Size: With a lot size of 4375 sq ft, the property offers limited outdoor communal space beyond the private yard for Unit C, which might restrict future expansion or amenity development.
