More Insights
This property has been on the market for 75 days.
Built in 1913 (112 years old).
Condition: This property consists of two distinct homes. The 1913 Craftsman front house, while showcasing beautiful original architectural details and woodwork, features an visibly outdated bathroom with older tile and fixtures. The kitchen for this unit is not pictured, but likely aligns with the bathroom's condition, suggesting it would require significant updates to meet modern standards. The second home, built in 2001, is in good, functional condition for its age, with a clean kitchen featuring white cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, and well-maintained bathrooms. However, it has not undergone a recent major renovation. The blend of an older, charming but functionally outdated unit and a well-maintained but not recently updated 23-year-old unit results in an overall 'Fair' condition, as minor updates are needed, especially in the older home, to enhance its appeal and functionality to current market expectations.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Dual-Home Configuration: Two distinct homes on a single APN offers exceptional versatility for multi-generational living, rental income, or a live-work setup.
Blended Charm & Modernity: The property uniquely combines the historic character of a 1913 Craftsman with the modern functionality and amenities of a 2001-built second home.
Income & Investment Potential: Explicitly positioned as ideal for owner-occupants seeking rental income or pure investment, highlighting its financial viability.

Functional & Flexible Spaces: Both homes feature practical additions like spacious laundry/mudrooms and versatile bonus rooms (storage, office, gym, studio), enhancing livability and utility.
Cons
Age-Related System Concerns (Front House): The 1913 Craftsman, despite its charm, may have original systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require significant updates or ongoing maintenance not specified in the description.
Potential for Disparate Aesthetics: The substantial age difference between the two homes (1913 vs. 2001) could result in differing aesthetic styles and finishes, which might not appeal to buyers seeking a cohesive look across the entire property.
Limited Information on Shared Outdoor Space: While private yards are mentioned, the description doesn't elaborate on the extent or quality of shared outdoor living areas, which could be a consideration for a multi-unit property on a 7318 sq ft lot.
