Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and features a beautifully remodeled kitchen and updated bathroom with modern finishes. Although originally built in 1904, the interior has been modernized to provide immediate functionality and strong curb appeal. It meets the 'good' criteria as a well-maintained, updated home that does not require immediate renovation, though it lacks the 'excellent' rating's requirement for a full, comprehensive renovation of all structural and systemic components within the last five years.
The property features a detached rear bonus structure with significant potential for conversion into an ADU, studio, or creative workspace, offering a clear path to increased equity or rental income.

The interior offers a versatile floor plan with multiple enclosed rooms beyond the two bedrooms noted in tax records, allowing for adaptable use as home offices, guest spaces, or additional sleeping quarters.
There is a discrepancy between the tax records and the current room count; buyers must perform due diligence to verify the legality, permits, and safety of the additional enclosed rooms.
The surrounding public schools generally carry low performance ratings, with many scoring between 2 and 3 out of 10, which may impact the property's appeal to families and long-term appreciation.
