Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1917 and shows evidence of a renovation likely performed 20+ years ago, featuring ceramic tile flooring, recessed lighting, and vinyl windows. However, the presence of dated wall heaters, older stucco finishes, and general interior styling indicates the units are dated and will require minor repairs and modern updates to the kitchens and systems.
This duplex configuration featuring a 3-bedroom/2-bathroom unit and a 2-bedroom/1-bathroom unit provides excellent versatility for rental income, multi-generational living, or an owner-occupant looking to offset their mortgage.
Situated directly across from Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School and within walking distance to parks, shopping, and dining, the property offers high convenience that appeals to both families and long-term tenants.
The generous 5,201 sqft lot includes a large backyard and private fenced front yard, offering significant space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or the potential to add an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) for increased value.
Originally built in 1917, the property may require significant capital expenditures for updates to aging systems such as plumbing, electrical, and foundation, which are common concerns for century-old structures.
A recent $50,000 price reduction from the original list price suggests that the property faced initial market resistance, which may impact buyer perception regarding its current valuation.
