Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1925, this triplex shows its age despite recent cosmetic updates like new paint and flooring in one unit. The kitchens and bathrooms, while clean and functional, feature dated cabinets, countertops, appliances, and fixtures (e.g., popcorn ceilings, basic light fixtures, wall heaters). These areas would require substantial modernization to meet current aesthetic and quality standards. Major systems are likely original or very old, posing potential future maintenance needs, aligning with the 'aged but maintained' and 'outdated components' criteria for a 'Fair' rating.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
High School: Middle College High School (9/10).
- Strong Income Potential
This triplex offers a solid income stream with two units already occupied by long-term tenants on leases until 2026, plus one vacant unit ready for immediate occupancy or additional rental income, making it an exceptional investment opportunity.
- Separately Metered Utilities
Each unit is separately metered, ensuring tenants pay their own utilities, which significantly reduces landlord operating expenses and simplifies property management.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Property Age & Potential System Obsolescence
Built in 1925, the property's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof, HVAC) may be original or require significant updates in the near future, despite recent cosmetic improvements.
- Partial Unit Modernization
While some upgrades like new paint and flooring are mentioned, the description specifically notes 'upgraded counter tops in one of the units,' implying inconsistent modernization across all three units, which may necessitate further investment to standardize quality.
- Contingent Value-Add Potential
The additional yard space's value-add opportunities are 'pending city approval,' introducing uncertainty, potential delays, and additional costs for permits and construction before any expansion can be realized.
