Built in 1924 (102 years old).
Condition: This property consists of two units with differing conditions. The rear unit (3031), which is the larger of the two, has been fully updated with new electrical, flooring, kitchen, and bathroom, featuring modern white cabinetry, black appliances, contemporary fixtures, and stylish finishes. This unit is move-in ready and aligns with 'Excellent' or high 'Good' criteria. The front unit (3029), while appearing well-maintained with older hardwood floors, has a dated kitchen with beige tile countertops and older appliances, and an older bathroom. This unit would fall into the 'Fair' category. Given that the larger portion of the property has undergone extensive, recent renovations, the overall condition is elevated to 'Good', as a significant part of the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, despite the front unit needing updates.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Full Vacancy: The property is delivered 100% vacant, offering immediate occupancy for owner-users or flexibility for investors to set market rents and select tenants.
Two Detached Residences: Features two independent, detached single-family homes on one lot, providing a rare and versatile configuration ideal for multi-generational living or rental income.
Updated Rear Home: The rear residence (3031) has been fully updated with new electrical, flooring, kitchen, and bathroom, reducing immediate renovation needs for that unit.
Investor/Owner-User Appeal: The unique setup of two vacant homes makes this property highly attractive to both owner-occupants seeking additional income or space, and investors looking for rental opportunities.
Private Parking: The rear home includes a private driveway and garage, adding significant value, convenience, and secure parking in an urban setting.

Cons

Front House Condition: The description highlights updates only for the rear house, implying the front house (3029) may require significant renovation or modernization to match the updated unit.
Property Age: Built in 1924, the property is nearly a century old, which could mean potential for older infrastructure, systems, and deferred maintenance, particularly in the un-updated front unit.
Mixed School Ratings: Several nearby public schools have lower ratings (1-3 out of 10), which may be a consideration for families prioritizing highly-rated educational institutions.
