Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1977 (47 years old), the property is well-maintained but shows dated interior finishes, particularly in the bathrooms which feature older plastic surrounds and basic tiling. While the description notes recent updates like new water heaters, the overall aesthetic and visible wear on the exterior pavement suggest the property is in the 15-30 year renovation bracket, requiring cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
The property is ideally situated near downtown San Rafael and Dominican University, ensuring consistent rental demand from students, faculty, and local professionals.
Custom-built and meticulously cared for by the original family, the property features recent upgrades like new gas water heaters and mature, professional landscaping.
Each unit includes rare features for a triplex, such as in-unit laundry, private outdoor spaces, and two dedicated on-site parking spots, significantly enhancing tenant retention.
The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration may limit the property's ability to command top-tier rents compared to modern units that typically offer a second bathroom.
Built in 1977, the property may soon require significant capital expenditures for long-term maintenance items like roofing or plumbing that are typical for its age.
