The interiors feature stylishly updated bathrooms, modern fixtures, and high-quality flooring across all three units, showing no signs of deferred maintenance.
Elementary School: Fremont Elementary School (9/10).
This triplex configuration, featuring a primary Craftsman home and two studio units with shared laundry, offers excellent rental income versatility or a 'live-in one, rent the others' opportunity.
The property seamlessly blends historic charm with essential modern infrastructure, including updated electrical and plumbing, central A/C in the main house, and tankless water heaters.
The two rear units are studios with Murphy beds, which may limit the long-term tenant demographic and potentially lead to higher turnover rates compared to larger apartments.
As a 1922 structure in a designated historic district, future renovations or exterior modifications may be subject to strict preservation guidelines and permitting processes.
