Property is moderate renovation needed.
Originally built in 1947, the property has undergone some cosmetic maintenance including fresh interior paint and newer laminate flooring. However, the kitchen remains very basic with dated painted cabinetry and older styles, and the exterior shows signs of age. While the units appear functional and move-in ready, the property lacks a comprehensive modern renovation, and the 4-bedroom unit's single-bathroom layout indicates functional obsolescence typical of an older, 'fair' condition property.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 15083, living area = 3451.
The property features three distinct units (2/1, 3/2, and 4/1), offering excellent flexibility for an owner-user to occupy one unit while generating significant market-rate rental income from the others.
Situated on an expansive 15,083 sq ft lot, the property includes a detached garage with strong ADU potential, providing a clear path to increase density and maximize the overall return on investment.
Originally constructed in 1947, the property may require significant capital expenditures for modernizing utility systems or addressing deferred maintenance typical of older structures.
The rear four-bedroom unit is serviced by only a single bathroom, which may limit its appeal to larger families and negatively impact the maximum achievable market rent for that unit.
