Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Originally built in 1938, the property shows evidence of recent interior renovations, specifically in the bathroom with modern tiling and fixtures. However, the exterior stucco shows significant wear and moisture staining at the base, and the listing's emphasis on 'potential' and 'making it your own' indicates that while partially updated, the home likely requires additional repairs or system updates to be fully modernized.

The inclusion of a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) provides excellent flexibility for rental income or multigenerational living arrangements, adding significant value to the property.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
- Limited Outdoor Space
With a lot size of only 3,422 square feet, the property offers minimal yard space, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking significant outdoor areas or gardening potential.
