Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is move-in ready and features a front unit that has been extensively renovated with a brand-new kitchen, modern recessed lighting, updated bathrooms, and refinished original hardwood floors.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Multi-Unit Versatility

    This rare '2-on-a-lot' property features two separate homes and two detached 2-car garages, offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living or high-yield rental income in a coveted neighborhood.

  • ADU Development Potential

    With two detached garages and sewer connections conveniently located nearby, the property provides a prime opportunity to convert one structure into an ADU, significantly increasing the total property value and monthly cash flow.

  • Enhanced Privacy and Layout

    The lot's unique position backing into an alley results in only one adjacent neighbor, while the thoughtful layout and newer vinyl fencing ensure a private, standalone feel for both residences.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Mixed Renovation Status

    While the front unit is beautifully upgraded, the rear unit retains many original 1944 features, likely requiring additional capital expenditure to modernize and match the quality of the primary home.

  • Secondary School Ratings

    Although the local elementary schools are highly rated at an 8/10, the assigned middle and high schools have significantly lower performance scores, which may impact long-term resale appeal for families.
