Pros & Cons
Pros

Spacious 3-Bed/2-Bath Units: Each unit offers a desirable 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout, catering to families or multiple occupants, which is highly sought after in the rental market.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1580, other record living area = 1311.
Small Lot Size: The 2500 sqft lot is relatively small for a duplex, potentially limiting additional outdoor space or future expansion opportunities beyond the existing private patios.
Age of Original Structure: Built in 1952, the property's underlying structure is over 70 years old. While interiors are remodeled, potential buyers may have concerns about the condition of original systems (e.g., foundation, main plumbing/electrical lines, roof) not explicitly stated as fully replaced.
Unit Size Discrepancy: The two units have differing square footages (840 SF and 740 SF). While both are 3 bed/2 bath, this 100 sqft difference could lead to variations in perceived value, rental income potential, or tenant preference between the units.
