More Insights
Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: The property features a newly built, high-style ADU with an excellent, modern kitchen and bathroom, polished concrete floors, and contemporary design, meeting 'excellent' criteria. The main house, built in 1953, appears well-maintained with hardwood floors and a functional, though dated, kitchen. While the main house would benefit from updates to its single bathroom and overall aesthetics to align with modern standards and the ADU's quality, it is move-in ready. The combination of a brand-new, high-quality ADU and a functional, maintained main house elevates the overall property condition to good.
