This ADU-Ready Single Family Residence is a High-Potential Investment Opportunity, listed at $880,000—positioned above the $751,588 Fair Market Value. While the property carries a Condition Rating of 4, it features significant infrastructure upgrades including a newer roof, copper plumbing, and dual-pane windows. The detached garage with a fourth bedroom offers immediate ADU Conversion Potential for rental income. Despite lower-rated local schools, the oversized lot and secure parking provide long-term utility. This asset is ideal for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Owner-Occupants seeking a value-add project.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property features excellent recent system updates including a roof less than 5 years old, newer copper plumbing, and dual-pane windows. However, the interior is dated; the kitchen cabinetry and tile countertops appear to be 20+ years old, and the home lacks central HVAC, utilizing wall heaters and individual AC units. While move-in ready, it requires cosmetic and fixture updates to meet modern standards.
High School: Middle College High School (9/10).
The property features a detached fourth bedroom attached to the garage, providing an excellent and straightforward opportunity to convert the space into a legal ADU for rental income or multi-generational living.
Significant capital improvements have already been completed, including a roof less than five years old, newer copper plumbing, dual-pane windows, and updated electrical, minimizing immediate maintenance costs for the buyer.
With four bedrooms configured within only 1,212 square feet of living space, the individual room sizes and common areas are likely to feel cramped and may lack the spaciousness desired by modern families.
The majority of the assigned public schools in the immediate area have low performance ratings (ranging from 1 to 4), which may be a deterrent for families prioritizing educational quality and could impact future appreciation.
