This Victorian duplex is waiting for a makeover. This Victorian duplex has seen better days, but many of its classic architectural details are intact. A visionary can bring it back to life. Revel in its architectural details that include nearly 12-foot ceilings, picture moldings, vintage lights and rosettes, transom windows over doors, ornamental fireplace with tile surround. Good location. Close to parks, schools, shops, restaurants, downtown and the newly restored and historic Alameda Theater. <br/><br/>Two units divided into upstairs and downstairs flats, each with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, formal living room and spacious kitchen. The larger upstairs unit has a delightful covered deck for al fresco dining and entertaining, and has use of a large multi-purpose room. Detached garage/storage offers additional bonus space. Upstairs is rented for $1850/mo; downstairs is rented for $1200/mo.<br/><br/>Major work has been done: Foundation was replaced in 2000, and sewer lateral was replaced in 1996. Most recent pest inspection shows approximately $7K in pest repairs.<br/><br/>As of this writing, Zillow estimates it at $714,500 and Cyberhomes at $703,138. Although these estimates are akin to drive by appraisals, the better way to get a sense of value is to have a realtor prepare a comprehensive and comparable market analysis to factor in location, amenities and improvements.<br/><br/>No, this is NOT an REO/bank-owned property; and this NOT being sold as a short sale. The owner is an individual who likes investing in real estate. If it sells, fine. If it doesn't he'll make improvements to increase its market value. But for the time being, if this property meets someone's requirements, he is ready and will sell.<br/><br/>Excellent candidate for owner-occupant investor willing to invest a bit of sweat equity on mostly cosmetic repairs.
What I love
Major work already done --- foundation and sewer lateral. Many architectural details intact. Short walk to parks, schools, downtown shops, restaurants and newly restored Alameda Theater 8-cineplex.
