Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1985, this property is functional and appears to be maintained, but it is significantly outdated. The kitchen features original-style wood cabinetry, laminate countertops, dated appliances (especially the built-in oven), and an old fluorescent light fixture, all of which require a full renovation to meet current standards. Bathrooms also show dated fixtures and finishes. While the living areas appear clean and staged, the overall aesthetic and key functional areas like the kitchen and bathrooms are well past their prime for modern appeal. Unit 2 also lacks central air conditioning, relying on a wall heater, which is a notable drawback. The property is livable but requires substantial cosmetic updates to enhance its value and appeal.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Producing Duplex with Flexibility: A rare duplex offering two separate homes with individual meters for water, electricity, and gas, providing excellent income potential. Seller financing is also available, enhancing buyer accessibility.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in the heart of Corona, within walking distance to the new Revitalization Project, restaurants, and community spaces. Excellent freeway access (91, 15, Metrolink) and proximity to essential amenities like medical centers, libraries, and markets.
No HOA & Low Taxes: The absence of HOA fees and low property taxes significantly reduces ongoing ownership costs, making it a more attractive investment or living option.
Significant Value-Add Potential: Unit 1 includes a versatile 10x20 Bonus Flex Room and the property offers potential to convert a 600 sqft space into an additional ADU, greatly increasing rental income capacity.
Ample Parking & RV Access: Features include dedicated RV parking, a 2-car garage, plenty of driveway space for extra vehicles, and alley access for added convenience and flexibility.

Cons

Unit 2 Lacks Central Air Conditioning: While Unit 1 has central AC, Unit 2 is equipped only with a wall heater, which could be a significant drawback for tenant comfort during Corona's hot summer months and may require an upgrade.
Potential for Modernization: Built in 1985, the property, particularly Unit 1's kitchen with 'room for a future island,' suggests areas that may benefit from modernization or updates to maximize appeal and rental value.
Compact Size of Unit 2: Unit 2, at 535 sqft for a 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout, is quite compact, which might limit its appeal to certain tenants or restrict the achievable rental income compared to more spacious units.
