Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1948, this property is significantly dated, featuring older wood paneling, basic cabinetry, and mid-century bathroom fixtures. While functional and currently occupied, the listing explicitly identifies it as a 'value-add' opportunity requiring renovation and potential redevelopment to meet modern standards.
Situated in the heart of Capitola, the property is just minutes from the beach, village shops, and dining, ensuring high tenant demand and long-term appreciation.
The triplex configuration with a detached rear unit provides versatility for owner-occupants or investors, with the vacant rear unit offering immediate rental upside or renovation potential.
Zoned MU-N (Mixed Use, Neighborhood) and offering the rare chance to acquire the adjacent property, this site presents significant redevelopment or portfolio expansion opportunities.
Marketed as a 'value-add' opportunity, the 1948 structures likely require substantial capital investment to modernize and maximize market rents.
With only 1,526 square feet across three units, the living spaces are relatively small, which may limit the appeal for tenants seeking more spacious accommodations.
A rare value-add opportunity in the heart of Capitola, just minutes from Capitola Village, the beach, restaurants, and shops. This versatile triplex features three units across two structures, offering multiple possibilities for investors, owner-occupants, or buyers seeking a Capitola second home with rental income. The front building includes a 1-bedroom/1-bath unit and studio/1-bath unit, while a detached 2-bedroom/1-bath residence sits privately toward the rear. The rear unit features in-unit laundry and will be delivered vacant, creating an opportunity to renovate and make it your own while generating income from the other two units. Each unit has its own off-street parking space. Zoned MU-N (Mixed Use, Neighborhood), the property offers intriguing potential for future improvements or redevelopment, subject to City approval. Build equity through renovation, explore the property's longer-term possibilities, or reposition a well-located investment.
