More Insights

Built in 1925 (101 years old).
Condition: This 1925 Arts & Crafts bungalow is described as 'turnkey' and 'move-in ready' with significant recent renovations. The main kitchen features sleek stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and modern white cabinets, appearing in excellent condition. The main bathroom has also undergone a professional renovation with a modern vanity, new shower, and contemporary fixtures. Updated flooring is present in the main living areas. While these key areas are in excellent shape, the property's 1925 build year suggests potential for older underlying systems, and the explicit mention and visual evidence of window AC units indicate a lack of central air conditioning. The detached guest suite is functional but appears to have slightly older updates compared to the main house. Overall, it's well-maintained and requires no immediate renovations, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1034, other record living area = 702.
Limited Main House Bathroom Count: The main house features only one bathroom for two bedrooms, which may be inconvenient or insufficient for some households.
Age of Property (1925): Despite recent renovations, the 1925 build year suggests potential for underlying older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that may require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly detailed.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description mentions 'private cooling' in a secondary bedroom, implying the main house may not have central air conditioning, which could be a comfort issue during warmer months.
