SUMMARY
This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $874,950—positioned above the $763,729 Fair Market Value. While the current list price exceeds the estimated value, the home’s Poor Condition Rating and mid-century architectural character provide a blank canvas for value-add renovations. Featuring Exposed Wood Beam Ceilings and a Spacious 6,604 sqft Lot, the property offers significant potential for an ADU conversion. This is a strategic acquisition for Fix-and-Flip Investors or DIY Enthusiasts focused on long-term equity growth through comprehensive modernization.

Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1954 and explicitly marketed as a 'fixer,' this property shows no signs of recent renovation. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated tile, cabinetry, and appliances that appear to be 30-50 years old. With unpermitted garage space and a clear need for a full rehab to address dated systems and finishes, it fits the poor condition criteria.
