Key pros and cons

Top Pros:

Age of Construction: Built in 1920, despite described updates, the property's age may imply older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems not explicitly mentioned as fully replaced) that could require future maintenance or capital expenditures.

More Insights

Built in 1920 (106 years old).
Condition: Built in 1920, this property features two distinct units. The front house has been significantly updated with a tastefully remodeled bathroom, a modern kitchen with white shaker cabinets, butcher block countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Both homes benefit from modern amenities like HVAC, dual-paned windows, and well-maintained hardwood floors, making them move-in ready. While the back unit's kitchen and bathroom are functional and clean, their style (e.g., red tile, older vanity) appears more dated compared to the front unit, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. However, the overall condition, recent updates to the primary unit, and modern systems align well with a 'Good' rating.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Dual Income/Multi-Generational Potential: This property offers two separate, move-in ready homes with individual private entries, backyards, and separately metered utilities, providing immediate rental income from the back unit ($3,150/month) or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Prime Normal Heights Location: Situated on a prime lot just a half mile north of Adams Avenue, residents enjoy exceptional walkability to vibrant restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and easy access to major freeways, enhancing lifestyle and convenience.
Updated & Modernized Amenities: Both homes are equipped with modern amenities including HVAC systems, dual-paned windows, hardwood floors, and updated kitchen appliances (dishwashers, gas stoves, microwaves), ensuring comfortable and contemporary living.
Abundant Parking & Private Outdoor Space: The property boasts significant parking capacity with a two-car garage, two additional single garages, a driveway accommodating 3-4 vehicles, and private backyards for each unit, complemented by convenient alley access for the back house.
Unique Property Type & Investment Flexibility: A charming 1920s two-house opportunity (front house + carriage house) on a tranquil block free from multi-story apartments, zoned RS-1-7, offering significant potential for investment, owner-occupancy with income, or future development.

Cons

Age of Construction: Built in 1920, despite described updates, the property's age may imply older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems not explicitly mentioned as fully replaced) that could require future maintenance or capital expenditures.
Tenant Occupancy in Back Unit: The back unit is currently tenant-occupied on a month-to-month lease, which, while providing income, could present a transition period for a buyer intending to occupy both units or introduce uncertainty for an investor seeking a long-term lease agreement.
Modest Individual Unit Sizes: While offering two distinct units, the individual square footage (1167 sq ft for the front house and 800 sq ft for the back house) might be considered compact for buyers seeking larger, more expansive single-family living spaces.
