More Insights
Built in 1979 (46 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1979, has undergone extensive and recent system upgrades, including new electrical wiring and panels, new PEX plumbing, a tankless water heater, central AC with mini-duct systems and Wi-Fi controls, and soundproof windows. These significant improvements to major systems make the property highly functional and move-in ready. While the main house kitchen and bathroom, despite being previously remodeled, feature dated aesthetics (e.g., light oak cabinets, older tile flooring, older white appliances in the main kitchen, dated vanity in the main bathroom), they are clean and functional. The ADU offers newer flooring and a more modern bathroom, though its kitchen is basic. The new major systems significantly outweigh the dated cosmetic elements, placing the property in 'Good' condition, as it requires no immediate major renovations, only potential cosmetic updates to align with current styles.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Middle School: Robert Frost Middle School (9/10).
Income-Generating ADU: The property includes a separate ADU with its own address, offering significant potential for rental income or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Extensive System Upgrades: The main house benefits from comprehensive modernizations including new electrical wiring/panel, PEX plumbing, central AC, mini-duct systems with Wi-Fi controls, and a tankless water heater, reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Energy Efficiency: Equipped with two solar panel systems (one paid, one leased) and a tankless water heater, the property offers substantial long-term utility cost savings and environmental benefits.
Remodeled Main House Kitchen: The main residence features a remodeled kitchen, enhancing its appeal and functionality with a modern aesthetic.
Enhanced Comfort Features: Soundproof windows throughout the main house contribute to a quieter and more comfortable living environment, a valuable amenity in urban settings.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2185, other record living area = 1662. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 6, other record bedroom count = 4.
Leased Solar System: One of the two solar panel systems is leased, which may require the buyer to assume the lease agreement, potentially impacting financing or future monthly obligations.
ADU Condition Discrepancy: While the main house has extensive upgrades, the ADU is only noted to have 'newer paint and flooring,' suggesting it may not be as comprehensively updated as the primary residence.
Limited Lot Size: The 5715 sqft lot size might be considered modest for a property featuring two separate dwelling units, potentially limiting outdoor living space or future expansion opportunities.
