More Insights
Built in 1947 (78 years old).
Condition: Built in 1947, this property explicitly 'needs some updating' and is described as a 'project.' The images confirm this, particularly the bathrooms which feature extremely outdated fixtures, worn tile countertops, dirty and dated shower/tub surrounds, and general disrepair, suggesting renovations from 30-50 years ago or older with poor maintenance. The overall condition indicates substantial repairs and rehabilitation are required, including likely major system upgrades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) due to the property's age and lack of visible modern updates.

Income-Generating Potential (ADU): Features an additional unit with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a small kitchen, providing excellent potential for rental income, guest accommodation, or multi-generational living.
Development Opportunity (R-3 Zoning): Zoned R-3, which allows for multi-family development, presenting a significant opportunity for investors or developers to maximize the property's value.
Customization & Value-Add Potential: The property's current condition ('needs some updating') offers a rare chance for buyers to personalize and renovate the home to their exact specifications, adding significant value.
Broad Market Appeal: Its combination of location, ADU, and development potential makes it attractive to a wide range of buyers, including families, investors, and those seeking a renovation project.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property explicitly 'needs some updating' and requires a buyer with a 'vision,' indicating a substantial investment in time, effort, and capital for renovations to modernize the main home.
Age-Related Maintenance/Upgrades: Built in 1947, the home likely has original or outdated systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and finishes, which will require significant upgrades or replacement in the near future.
Potential for High Project Costs: The scope of necessary updates and renovations, coupled with the property's age, suggests that the overall project cost could be substantial, potentially exceeding initial buyer estimates.
