Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1993, presents a mixed condition. One unit has been recently updated with modern finishes in the kitchen (white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, modern backsplash) and bathrooms (updated vanities, newer tile), and some newer flooring. However, the second unit remains largely in its original, dated condition, featuring older wooden cabinets, white appliances (except possibly a newer fridge), worn carpets, and dated bathroom fixtures, requiring significant renovation. The overall condition is therefore a blend, leaning towards 'Fair' due to the substantial work needed in one unit, despite the improvements in the other. Major systems may also be nearing the end of their typical lifespan given the age of the property.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong Investment Potential: This property presents a great duplex opportunity, ideal for investors seeking rental income or owner-occupants looking to live in one unit and rent the other, offering versatile income generation.
Desirable Unit Configuration: Each unit features a practical and appealing layout with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, an attached garage, and private outdoor space, catering to a broad tenant base or owner-occupant needs.
Partial Modern Updates: One side of the duplex has been recently updated with modern finishes, providing immediate move-in readiness and reducing initial renovation costs for that unit.
Convenient Location: Situated in North Natomas, the property boasts a convenient location with easy access to schools, parks, and public transportation, enhancing its appeal to residents.
No Association Fees: The absence of association fees (HOA) reduces ongoing ownership costs, making the property more financially attractive for both investors and owner-occupants.
Cons
Partial Renovation Required: One unit is explicitly stated as 'ready for your personal touch,' indicating it requires significant updates or renovation to match the other unit's modern finishes and maximize its market value or rental income.
Mixed School Ratings: While near schools, some of the closest public elementary and high schools have lower ratings (e.g., 2-4 out of 10), which might be a concern for families prioritizing top-tier educational institutions.
Potential for System Updates (Age): Built in 1993, the property is over 30 years old, suggesting that major systems such as HVAC, roofing, or plumbing may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan and could require future capital expenditures.
