Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This property comprises two distinct homes, both in excellent functional condition. The front Craftsman home (c.1910) has been fully restored with refinished original hardwood floors, preserved original windows, renovated kitchen and baths featuring stainless steel appliances, updated plumbing and electrical, and central AC/heat. The rear home, custom-built in 2010, is modern with contemporary finishes in its kitchen and bathrooms, and also features central AC/heat. Both structures benefit from recently replaced roofs. While the front house's renovations appear to be within the 5-15 year range (based on kitchen/bath styles) and the rear house is 14 years old, they both meet the criteria for 'Good' condition: move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, well-maintained systems within their expected lifespan, and minimal wear and tear. The property does not quite meet the 'Excellent' criteria of being built within 10 years or extensively renovated within the last 5 years across all key areas, but it is certainly a high-quality, well-maintained offering.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Dual-Unit Income Property
Features two distinct single-family homes with separate addresses and utility meters on one lot, providing significant income potential or ideal multi-generational living arrangements.
- Blended Charm & Modernity
The front California Craftsman home (c.1910) is fully restored, preserving original character while incorporating modern renovations, updated systems, and central AC/heat. The rear home (2010) is custom-built and modern.
- Extensive Parking & Outdoor Living
Offers abundant parking with one 2-car garage, two 1-car garages, and three driveway spaces, complemented by a large covered patio with Trex flooring and a lush, maturely landscaped backyard.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Lack of Scenic Views
The property does not offer any notable scenic views, which may be a drawback for buyers prioritizing panoramic or desirable vistas.
- Complex Property Management
Managing two distinct homes with separate systems, potential tenants, and maintenance schedules can be more complex and time-consuming than a single-family residence.
- Potentially Higher Operating Costs
With two separate homes, utility bills, insurance, and general maintenance costs are likely to be higher than a comparable single-family home, impacting net operating income if used as a rental.
