This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $670,000—positioned above the $642,672 Fair Market Value. While currently priced slightly above market, the 0.5-acre lot and versatile pool house offer significant value-add potential. With a Condition Rating of 4, the home requires rehabilitation of the secondary structure and interior updates. The expansive grounds provide rare ADU potential and alley access, making this a strategic acquisition for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Owner-Occupants seeking to build long-term equity through renovation.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1961, the home features some recent cosmetic updates like laminate flooring and paint. However, the kitchen remains dated with tile countertops, and the property includes a secondary structure (pool house) that is currently gutted to the studs, requiring significant rehabilitation to be functional.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 23461, living area = 2071.
The rare half-acre lot features convenient alley access and ample space, offering significant potential for an ADU, RV parking, or extensive gardening.
A detached 3-room pool house with a full bath provides exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, a home office, or a guest suite.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =23461, other record lot size in square feet = 23086.
The 1960s-era finishes, including tile countertops and older appliances, may require additional capital investment for buyers seeking a modern aesthetic.
A recent price reduction after 34 days on the market suggests the property is still adjusting to find its value alignment within the local Modesto submarket.
