Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This quadplex presents a mixed condition due to its varied construction dates and renovation levels. The front building, built in 1897, is described as 'meticulously maintained' and 'renovated,' suggesting ongoing upkeep. The back building from 1999 is within the 'good' age range. Crucially, the recently converted ADU features modern, excellent-condition kitchen (grey shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances) and bathroom (modern vanity, large format tile, glass shower enclosure) as seen in images 13 and 14. Other units, while showing older styles in kitchens (wood cabinets, granite-look counters, white tile floors in image 7; light wood cabinets, white appliances, laminate floors in image 10) and bathrooms (older vanities, tiled tub/shower combos in images 6, 11, 12), appear clean, functional, and move-in ready without immediate renovation needs. Flooring throughout the units (hardwood/laminate and tile) is in good condition. The presence of mini-split AC units in some areas indicates updated cooling. Overall, the property is well-maintained, functional, and largely move-in ready, with the recent ADU renovation significantly boosting its appeal, aligning with the 'good' criteria.
