More Insights

Built in 1960 (66 years old).
Condition: Built in 1960 and explicitly described as a 'fixer-upper' requiring 'extensive renovation.'

About this home

Opportunity awaits in this charming 2-bedroom, potential 3-bedroom, 1-bath fixer-upper situated on just under a quarter-acre lot in the heart of Brentwood. This property offers endless possibilities for the buyer with vision, whether you’re looking to renovate, expand, or create a custom dream home. The spacious lot features three additional sheds, including one fully finished structure with electrical, presenting exciting potential for an ADU conversion, home office, studio, or workshop (buyer to verify). With ample outdoor space, there’s room to reimagine the layout, add gardens, or design the backyard of your dreams. The home is currently being cleaned out and will be delivered vacant and cleared at the close of escrow, allowing the next owner to start fresh. This is a rare chance to enter the Brentwood market at an accessible price point while adding value through updates and personal touches. Ideal for investors, renovators, or owner-occupants ready to roll up their sleeves—this property is all about potential, location, and opportunity

Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8712, living area = 923.
Generous Lot Size: The property boasts a substantial 8,712 sqft (just under a quarter-acre) lot, providing ample space for potential expansion, extensive landscaping, or the addition of outdoor amenities.
ADU/Workshop Potential: Included are three additional sheds, with one fully finished and equipped with electrical, offering significant potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion, home office, or workshop.
Accessible Entry Price Point: Listed at $399,999, this property presents a rare and accessible opportunity to enter the Brentwood market, appealing to first-time buyers, investors, or those seeking a value-add project.
Significant Value-Add Opportunity: Marketed as a 'fixer-upper' with 'endless possibilities,' it's an ideal canvas for buyers with vision to renovate, expand, and customize, thereby building substantial equity.
Vacant & Ready for Renovation: The home will be delivered vacant and cleared at the close of escrow, allowing the new owner to commence renovations immediately without the complexities of tenant relocation or clean-out.

Cons

Extensive Renovation Required: Explicitly described as a 'fixer-upper,' the property will require significant investment in updates, repairs, and modernization to meet contemporary living standards and maximize its potential.
Small & Outdated Interior: With only 923 sqft, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, the current living space is compact and likely features outdated systems and finishes from its 1960 build, necessitating a comprehensive interior overhaul.
ADU Conversion Uncertainty: While ADU potential exists with the finished shed, the 'buyer to verify' clause indicates that the conversion process may involve additional costs, permits, and regulatory hurdles, without guaranteed approval.
