Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1936 craftsman with significant system updates (electrical, plumbing, and seismic) completed in the late 1980s. While the description notes 'impeccable condition' and a 'serviceable' roof, the core systems are now over 35 years old, which classifies the infrastructure as dated according to the criteria, despite the high level of maintenance.
This well-maintained 1936 Craftsman fourplex features original hardwood floors, period trim, and unique charm that attracts high-quality tenants seeking non-cookie-cutter living spaces.
The property boasts significant upgrades including a seismic retrofit, updated electrical and plumbing systems, and a solid concrete foundation, significantly reducing immediate capital expenditure for the investor.
Situated just blocks from downtown Santa Rosa, the property offers tenants immediate access to premier Sonoma County dining, shopping, and entertainment, ensuring consistently high rental demand.
The unit mix is weighted toward smaller spaces, including one studio and two one-bedroom units, which may result in higher tenant turnover compared to larger family-sized apartments.
The relatively small 4,199 square foot lot limits outdoor amenities and may present challenges for on-site parking for all four households in a dense urban setting.
625 Humboldt Street is a beautiful, well-maintained craftsman fourplex that has been owned by the same family for three generations. The building showcases gorgeous, original hardwood floors and retains many period details, like classic craftsman trim and a grand front door with embedded glass panes. The units consist of (one) studio, (two) one-bedroom units, and (one) two-bedroom unit. There is a basement with tenant storage and leased laundry machines that allow tenants to pay using an app on their phone. The basement also showcases the building's solid construction - the framing appears to be old growth redwood and a substantial concrete foundation was added in the 1950's when the building was moved a few feet south due to the widening of College Avenue. In the late 1980's the owners added a new electrical main panel and subpanels and rewired most of the building. They also updated most of the plumbing throughout the building. Soon thereafter, they completed seismic retrofit work consisting of bolting the sill plate to the concrete foundation, adding sheer wall, and bracing joists to posts. A recent roof inspection describes the roof as being in good serviceable condition. The property has attractive, yet simple landscaping that is on an irrigation system and is relatively low maintenance. Tenants are attracted to the property's uniquely appealing charm - these are not boring, cookie cutter units, they are one-of-a-kind apartments with classic features and updated systems. And of course, the location, mere blocks from downtown Santa Rosa, offers immediate access to the best of Sonoma County cuisine, entertainment, and shopping. 625 Humboldt will be equally attractive to seasoned investors and first-time investors due to its impeccable condition, location, and charm. The next owner should be able to count on long-term, secure cashflow, with relatively low maintenance at a very fair entry price.
