Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1959, this duplex presents a mixed condition. While Unit 1 has undergone extensive and recent modern renovations, featuring high-end appliances (Miele, Subzero), dark hardwood floors, and contemporary finishes, Unit 2 shows significant signs of age. Unit 2's kitchen has older cabinets and appliances, and its bathroom is notably outdated with tiled countertops and fixtures that appear to be from a renovation 20-30+ years ago, or potentially original. Although major systems are reported to be functional and the roof is only 7 years old, the dated kitchen and bathroom in Unit 2 require substantial updates to meet current quality and aesthetic standards, preventing an overall 'Good' rating despite the excellent condition of Unit 1.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Crocker/Riverside Elementary School (9/10).
Immediate Income & Owner-Occupancy Potential: With one unit vacant as of June and a stable tenant in the other, the property offers immediate income generation and flexibility for owner-occupancy or selecting a new market-rate tenant.
Desirable Location: Located in the 'coveted South Land Park' neighborhood of Sacramento, indicating strong rental demand, potential for appreciation, and a desirable living environment.
Turnkey & Updated Condition: Both units are described as 'beautifully updated' with modern amenities (e.g., Miele, Subzero in one unit) and recent major system upgrades, including a 7-year-old roof, minimizing immediate renovation needs.
Individual Unit Amenities: Each unit includes highly sought-after features such as a private yard, covered patio, garage, and in-unit laundry hookups, which enhance tenant appeal and rental value.
Long-Term Investment & Development Potential: Marketed as a 'smart, stable, and stylish investment' with 'strong market-rate rental potential,' and the mention of a possible SB 9 lot split suggests future value-add or development opportunities.

Cons

Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-09-25. The sold price is $751,000.00.
Age of Property: Built in 1959, the property is over 60 years old. While updated, older properties can still present unforeseen maintenance challenges or require updates to systems not explicitly detailed beyond 'main systems work great'.
Uncertainty of SB 9 Lot Split: The 'possible SB 9 lot split' is presented as a long-term upgrade but explicitly states 'Buyer to investigate and confirm,' indicating it's not a guaranteed or pre-approved option and involves significant due diligence and potential costs for the buyer.
Variable School Ratings: While some nearby schools have good ratings, several elementary and middle schools in the immediate area have lower ratings (2-3), which could be a concern for families prioritizing highly-rated public education.
