Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1951, the home is well-maintained and functional but significantly dated. While the interior appears move-in ready, the marketing emphasizes 'potential' and 'opportunity' for expansion or ADU development, suggesting that the original kitchen, single bathroom, and core systems likely require updates to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10890, living area = 900.
The expansive 0.25-acre usable lot provides a rare opportunity for value-add projects, including the construction of an ADU, home expansion, or a large-scale workshop.
The detached two-car garage features a converted bonus room and a separate toilet, offering immediate utility as a home office, gym, or creative studio.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
With only 900 square feet of living space for a three-bedroom residence, the interior layout is quite small and may feel restrictive for growing families.
The home contains only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which presents a functional challenge for multi-occupant households and may impact resale appeal.
