Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1920s estate with significant mechanical upgrades including a newer roof, HVAC, windows, and owned solar. However, the interior condition is dated; the kitchen and bathrooms feature styles and appliances that appear to be 15-20 years old rather than recent renovations. Additionally, the flooring—specifically the carpeting—shows visible wear and staining, and the overall aesthetic requires cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 12690, living area = 2957.
Rare for a 1920s estate, the property features an owned solar system and comprehensive recent updates to the roof, HVAC, windows, and water heater, significantly enhancing energy efficiency and reducing immediate maintenance costs.
The home offers immense versatility with a parlor configured for guest or rental use, RV parking with full power/sewer hookups, and seller-submitted plans for an additional ADU, providing multiple avenues for value-add or supplemental income.
Despite major system updates, a century-old home typically requires more frequent specialized maintenance and may have legacy structural or plumbing elements inherent to its 1920s construction.
With nearly 3,000 square feet of living space but only three bedrooms, the layout may be less efficient for larger families compared to modern floor plans that typically offer more sleeping quarters within similar dimensions.
