More Insights
Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: This property presents a unique duality. The newly constructed, architect-designed ADU is in excellent condition, featuring a high-style modern kitchen with sleek cabinetry and integrated appliances, a contemporary bathroom with unique tiling and a wooden soaking tub, polished concrete floors, and modern lighting. The main house, built in 1953, appears well-maintained and move-in ready, with hardwood and cork flooring, and a functional kitchen with stainless steel appliances. However, the main house's kitchen and light fixtures show signs of being dated, and the condition of its single bathroom is not shown but is likely not as modern as the ADU. The overall score is 'Good' because the excellent condition of the ADU significantly elevates the property, making it highly desirable and move-in ready, despite the main house requiring potential minor updates to match contemporary styles.
