Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This property consists of two distinct units, both in good condition. The front house (c.1924) has been extensively renovated with updated kitchen and baths, stainless steel appliances, updated plumbing and electrical, and central AC/heat, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and modern stainless steel appliances, while the bathroom boasts contemporary subway tiling. The rear house, custom-built in 2010, is relatively new and also includes central AC/heat. Both structures benefit from recently replaced roofs. The overall property shows minimal wear and tear, with well-maintained systems and appealing aesthetics, aligning perfectly with the 'Good' condition criteria.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Income-Generating Duplex
Features two fully detached homes with separate addresses and utility meters, providing excellent potential for rental income or multi-generational living arrangements.
- Extensive Renovations & Modern Updates
The front house boasts renovated kitchen and baths, updated plumbing and electrical, and central AC/heat, while the rear house is a custom-built 2010 modern construction also with central AC/heat, ensuring move-in readiness and reduced immediate maintenance.
- Ample Parking
The property includes two 2-car garages plus additional driveway spaces, offering significant parking capacity for multiple residents or tenants.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Age Disparity Between Units
The significant age difference between the 1924 front house and the 2010 rear house, despite renovations, could lead to differing maintenance profiles or aesthetic preferences for some buyers.
- Lack of Scenic Views
The property description explicitly states 'view: None,' which might be a drawback for buyers prioritizing scenic or panoramic outlooks.
- Limited Individual Unit Size
While the total square footage is 2181 SF, it's divided into two units (1288 SF and 893 SF), meaning neither unit offers particularly spacious living areas, potentially limiting appeal to buyers seeking larger individual homes.
