Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

Despite being built in 1917, the property has undergone significant interior renovations. The units feature modern laminate flooring, updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances and tile backsplashes, and remodeled bathrooms with contemporary vanities and tile work. It is move-in ready with well-maintained systems, though the age of the structure and exterior infrastructure keeps it from an 'excellent' rating.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High-Density Rental Layout

    Each unit features a rare four-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration, offering exceptional scale and rental income potential seldom found in standard duplexes.

  • Ample Off-Street Parking

    The inclusion of a detached garage and a long driveway provides significant parking capacity, a highly coveted and rare asset in the dense East Village neighborhood.

  • Immediate Operational Flexibility

    With both units on month-to-month leases and separately metered utilities, the property offers the buyer maximum flexibility for owner-occupancy or immediate rent adjustments to market rates.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Minimal Outdoor Space

    The building footprint occupies nearly the entire 2,351 sqft lot, leaving virtually no yard or private outdoor common areas for tenants.

  • Century-Old Infrastructure

    Originally constructed in 1917, the property may require significant long-term maintenance for aging structural or systemic components that cosmetic interior updates do not address.
