Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1939, this property is significantly older than the 20-year threshold for dated condition. While the exterior shows some maintenance like vinyl windows, the lack of mentioned interior renovations suggests the kitchens, bathrooms, and core systems are likely dated and will require minor repairs or modernization to meet current standards.
The property features two separate, single-level homes rather than a shared-wall duplex, providing superior privacy and appeal for both tenants and owner-occupants.
With two distinct 2-bedroom units, the property offers excellent flexibility for rental income, multi-generational living, or a 'house-hacking' strategy.
The availability of the adjacent property for sale presents a rare opportunity for investors to acquire contiguous lots and increase their footprint in the neighborhood.
Built in 1939, the property likely requires ongoing maintenance or capital improvements to modernize aging systems and ensure long-term structural efficiency.
Totaling 1,768 square feet across two units, the individual living spaces are relatively small, which may limit appeal for larger families or tenants seeking spacious interiors.
Two separate, single-level two-bedroom homes on the same lot. Good separation with garage units in the center of the property. Nice neighborhood. Excellent rental property or live in one and ren out the other. Adjacent property is also for sale.
