Key pros and cons

Investment & Rental Income Potential: Explicitly marketed as a 'GREAT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY BELOW MARKET VALUE' with potential for 'substantial rental income' due to high demand for rentals and Airbnb in a rapidly growing neighborhood.
Top Cons:
Unpermitted Unit: The property includes an 'Extra unpermitted unit' in the basement, which poses legal risks, potential fines, and may require costly legalization or demolition by the buyer.

More Insights

Built in 1928 (98 years old).
Condition: Built in 1928 and sold 'As Is Condition' with an 'unpermitted unit,' this property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. While tenant-occupied, the kitchen and bathrooms feature dated finishes (dark wood cabinets, basic countertops, older appliances, brown-toned tiles) that appear to be from a renovation 15-30 years ago, not meeting current standards. The age of the property strongly suggests major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely at or past their expected lifespan and will require significant investment. The unpermitted unit also presents a substantial legal and potential structural/safety defect that needs resolution.
