Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

This 1923 craftsman bungalow is well-maintained and retains significant historical character, such as original skinny plank flooring and dark wood trim. However, the kitchen and bathroom are described as 'period' and 'original,' featuring outdated cabinetry, tile, and appliances that do not meet modern standards. While the home is functional and clean, its age and the lack of recent major renovations to key systems and interior finishes align with the 'fair' condition criteria.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Great Schools

    Elementary School: Fremont Elementary School (9/10).

  • Authentic Craftsman Character

    This 1923 bungalow preserves its original architectural integrity with iconic pillars, skinny plank flooring, and dark wood trim, offering a timeless aesthetic that is highly sought after by traditionalist buyers.

  • Spacious and Functional Layout

    At 1,230 square feet, the home features an exceptionally large living room and a versatile bonus sitting area, providing more interior living space than typically found in two-bedroom homes of this era.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Limited Outdoor Space

    With a lot size of only 2,474 square feet, the property offers very little yard space for gardening or outdoor entertaining, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking a traditional backyard.

  • Dated Period Features

    While charming, the 'period' kitchen and original built-ins suggest that the home may require significant capital investment to modernize the plumbing, electrical, and appliances to meet contemporary standards.

About 1005 Roswell Avenue

Welcome to 1005 Roswell, a charming and spacious craftsman bungalow in the heart of Zaferia District. From the iconic pillars, to the idyllic front porch, the eaves and wood frame windows speak to an era long past yet remaining timeless all the while. Just inside the front door you're greeted by an exceptionally spacious living room with original skinny plank flooring and all of the original dark trim still intact from over a century ago. With a bonus sitting area that could be used for a myriad of arrangements, the main living space in Roswell is not only hard to find, but also hard to leave... Making your way through the dining nook and original builtins, you'll find the efficient and maintained, period kitchen which still even has the milk door from the original build. As you head back toward the two incredibly spacious bedrooms separated by the full bathroom with original built-ins, you start to realize this really is more than character. It's also efficient. With one bedroom lending access to the one car garage and laundry hook ups, you can circle back around from the additional parking in the driveway and realize that 1005 Roswell is not only everything a traditionalist can appreciate, but also one heck of a deal...
