This 1921 mixed-use property is in functional condition but shows clear signs of aging and dated finishes. While the residential units have been 'updated,' the kitchens feature basic white appliances and older cabinetry, and some rooms utilize dated VCT tile flooring. The 2002 seismic retrofit is a major plus, but the rear exterior's heavy graffiti and the overall interior aesthetic suggest the property has not had a comprehensive renovation in over 20 years, placing it firmly in the 'fair' category.
Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
Situated on Grant Avenue in the heart of Chinatown, the property benefits from exceptionally high foot traffic from both locals and international tourists, maximizing retail visibility and potential.
The building offers a diverse income stream with a substantial multi-level retail space and two updated residential units, making it an ideal asset for either an owner-user or a savvy investor.
The compact 1,001-square-foot lot offers no dedicated parking or private outdoor space, which is a common but significant constraint for the dense Chinatown corridor.
Despite updates, the 1921 construction date suggests that ongoing maintenance of aging systems and historic building elements may be required to meet modern standards.

The store has a Mezzanine floor, a waterbar, a huge basement with an office and a restroom. The second floor has a 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom unit, and the third floor has a 3 bedrooms/1.5 bath unit.
