Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1958, this property is accurately described as a cosmetic fixer. While it features desirable mid-century wood-beamed ceilings, the interior requires significant attention; the kitchen is outdated with unfinished flooring (bare subfloor/concrete visible), and the laminate flooring throughout the living areas shows notable wear and gaps. The home is aged and functional but requires a full cosmetic overhaul to meet modern standards.
Strategically nestled between Highway 4 and I-680, this property offers exceptional accessibility for commuters while remaining close to the vibrant amenities of downtown Martinez.
Positioned as a cosmetic fixer with a competitive list price, this home presents a prime opportunity for investors or sweat-equity buyers to build rapid equity through renovations.
Beyond the three standard bedrooms, the property features an additional rear room that provides flexible square footage for a home office, hobby room, or expanded living area.
The property is identified as a cosmetic fixer, meaning buyers should anticipate immediate additional costs for updates and repairs to bring the home to modern standards.
The additional rear room is not reflected in county records, which may present challenges regarding permitting, future appraisals, or financing requirements.
"Diamond in the Rough" close to the heart of Martinez in a very desirable neighborhood. This 3-bed, 2-bath home, a family room with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace, is a cosmetic fixer. County Record shows a 3/2 but has an additional room w/closet that could be used as a 4th bedroom. Newer bathrooms, a good roof, and great bones. Paint and flooring will turn this home into a beauty. INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL!!! You gotta see this one!!!
