Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
Despite being built in 1920, the property is move-in ready and has undergone significant modernizations. Key upgrades include a renovated kitchen with white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, central heating and air conditioning, copper plumbing, and a tankless water heater. The exterior is well-maintained with fresh paint and synthetic turf, though the 100-year-old structure and compact 1,040 sqft layout for a 4-bedroom home prevent it from reaching the 'excellent' tier.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

Despite its 1920 vintage, the home features critical modern updates including central heating and air conditioning, copper plumbing, and a tankless water heater, significantly reducing immediate capital expenditure for buyers.
- Turnkey Interior & Curb Appeal
The property offers a move-in-ready experience with a renovated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, fresh exterior paint, and a classic white picket fence that enhances its visual appeal.

With four bedrooms and a bonus room packed into only 1,040 square feet, the living spaces and bedrooms are likely exceptionally small, which may feel cramped for larger families.
- Limited Outdoor Space
The 2,520 square foot lot is quite restrictive for a single-family residence, offering minimal yard space and limited potential for future structural expansions or ADU additions.
