Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1910 cottage and ADU show signs of age and heavy use, particularly in the secondary spaces previously used as a daycare. While the main kitchen has received a mid-range update (approximately 15-20 years ago) featuring oak cabinetry and a stainless steel dishwasher, the rest of the property is outdated. Interior features include aged wall heaters, worn carpeting (specifically the red carpet in the ADU), and basic fluorescent lighting. The property appears functional but requires significant cosmetic updates and likely system modernizations, consistent with a probate/short sale condition.
The property features a main cottage plus a large ADU and additional bonus rooms with a kitchenette, offering an excellent opportunity for house-hacking or multi-generational living.
