Property is move-in ready.
Despite being built in 1966, the listing explicitly states 'newer kitchens and bathrooms' and 'recent infrastructure upgrades such as new sewer lines installed earlier this year.' These significant updates to critical areas like plumbing, kitchens, and bathrooms indicate the property is move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required. While the living room image shows a window AC unit and a generally lived-in appearance, the described renovations align with the 'Good' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, ensuring major systems are functional and updated.
The property is a tenant-occupied duplex with two distinct units (3-bed/2-bath and 2-bed/1-bath), offering immediate rental income and flexibility for an owner-user.
Set on a large lot, the property offers potential to add an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) at the rear, which can significantly enhance future value and income possibilities.
Both units feature newer kitchens and bathrooms, along with recent infrastructure upgrades including new sewer lines and an added cleanout, reducing immediate capital expenditures for a buyer.
