Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This townhouse-style duplex is arranged on multiple levels to support two distinct residences within a vertical configuration. The building includes an Owner’s Suite with multi-level living and entertaining areas, multiple bedrooms, and garden-level space featuring a living room, laundry, utility room, bathroom, bedroom, and office, with separate egress through a public room from the garden level. The income suite offers a flexible 1.5-bedroom layout with a functional kitchen, bright living area, and an independent private entry aimed at resident privacy.

The property is next to Kennicott Park, with park views from the building. A legal property easement provides a guaranteed side-yard buffer that can be used for outdoor space and includes an emphasis on accessibility and natural light on the west side. Separate metered electric utilities are in place, while the shared radiator system and gas support efficient day-to-day operations.

Designed for an owner-occupant or investor, the layout provides separate living space for each unit with independent entry for the income suite. With multi-level functionality, dedicated outdoor space via the easement, and utility metering that can help simplify management, the property fits buyers seeking a residential income asset in the Kenwood area close to park amenities and established transportation access.

Financial Insights

Estimated NOI and Cap Rate

NOI = area × lease_rate × (100 − vacancy) / 100 × (1 − expense_ratio). Net Operating Income — what the owner takes home each year before mortgage payments and income tax. Effective rent (asking rent minus vacancy losses) minus operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management).
NOI / Yr
$55,010
Cap rate = NOI / list price × 100. Capitalization rate — annual return on a fully cash purchase, before financing. NOI divided by price. Higher means more income per dollar invested, but usually also more risk or older condition. 5–8% is typical for stabilized commercial property; double digits often signal distressed deals.
Cap Rate
8.46%
Suggested Prices Based on Cap Rates Cap rates vary significantly by property type, market, and asset quality. Typical U.S. stable-market ranges: Multifamily — 4.5% to 6.5% (Class A in primary markets often sub-5%; Class C in secondary markets 6%+) Industrial / Logistics — 5.0% to 7.0% (compressed heavily in recent years due to e-commerce demand) Office — 6.5% to 9%+ (wide spread post-2020; CBD Class A vs. suburban Class B varies dramatically) Retail — 5.5% to 8.5% (grocery-anchored on the low end, unanchored strip centers higher) Hospitality / Hotels — 7.5% to 10%+ (higher due to operational risk) Self-Storage — 5.5% to 7.5% Medical Office — 6.0% to 7.5% Net Lease (single tenant, credit) — 5.0% to 7.0% depending on tenant credit and lease term Rules of thumb: Primary markets (NYC, SF, LA, Boston, DC) trade at lower cap rates than secondary/tertiary markets, often by 100–200 bps (bps, aka basis points; 1 bp = 0.01%). Class A assets trade ~50–150 bps tighter than Class B, and Class B tighter than Class C. Cap rates move inversely with price — a lower cap rate means a higher price for the same NOI. Spread to the 10-year Treasury is a common benchmark; historically 200–400 bps over the 10-year.
