Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1923, shows significant age and is in need of substantial updates, particularly in the kitchen. The kitchen features dated honey-oak cabinets, older laminate or granite-look countertops, a beige tiled backsplash, and tiled flooring, suggesting renovations were done 15-30 years ago. Appliances are a mix of older white and newer stainless steel. Visible flooring includes worn hardwood and wood-look laminate. A window AC unit indicates a lack of central cooling. While functional and occupied, the property's 'vintage charm' and ongoing permitting process for additions, combined with neglected exterior areas and an overall dated aesthetic, place it firmly in the 'Fair' category, requiring minor updates and repairs to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Income-Generating Potential
The property features multiple dwellings (three existing, potential fourth) with two units already tenant-occupied, providing immediate rental income and strong cash flow opportunities.
- Significant Upside Potential
Described as having 'major upside potential' and flexibility for expansion on a spacious lot, allowing for various configurations such as live-in one/rent others, creative compound, or investment.
- Prime Location

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Unfinalized Permitting
The expanded living area and additional units are 'currently in the permitting process,' requiring the buyer to verify all information and assume the risk/responsibility of final approval.
- Age of Original Structure
Built in 1923, the main home's 'vintage charm' may imply older systems, potential deferred maintenance, or the need for significant updates in the original sections.
- Extensive Buyer Due Diligence
The listing explicitly states 'Buyer to verify all information and permitting with the city,' indicating a higher level of due diligence is necessary, which could be a deterrent for some buyers.
