Excellent
TeardownExcellent
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While originally built in 1972, the property has undergone a comprehensive recent renovation (likely within the last 5 years). It features modern French Oak LVP flooring, quartz countertops, painted cabinetry, and updated lighting. The systems are upgraded with a mini-split HVAC in the garage and a fully electric, solar-powered setup, placing it in mint, move-in ready condition.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 44867, living area = 2046.
- Expansive Usable Acreage
The property features a rare one-acre flat lot with mature fruit trees and a dedicated building pad, offering exceptional privacy and significant potential for an ADU or further expansion.
- Modern Turn-Key Upgrades
The interior boasts high-end finishes including wide-plank French Oak LVP flooring, quartz countertops, and an open-concept layout, providing a contemporary and move-in-ready living space.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2046, other record living area = 1844.
- Unpermitted Improvements
The backyard cottage is explicitly unpermitted, which may create challenges with appraisal valuations, future building code compliance, or certain types of financing.
- Leased Solar Commitment
The solar system is leased rather than owned, requiring the buyer to assume a long-term contract which may be less financially advantageous than an owned system.
