Santa Rosa, CA 95403
Analysis of 1427 Russell Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA 95403 is currently available with a list price of $359,000. The property maintains a Poor Condition Rating (30/100), indicating the property requires renovation and updates to maximize its market potential. This presents opportunities for value-add investors.

Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1946, this property exhibits significant structural defects, most notably a failing foundation that has caused the structure to sink. The interior is severely outdated, featuring 1970s-style green shag carpeting, aged laminate countertops in the bathroom, and a vintage copper-hooded fireplace. The listing agent explicitly states that all major components—including the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, and kitchens—require substantial repair or replacement, fitting the criteria for a property needing comprehensive rehabilitation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10650, living area = 1250.
The oversized 1/4-acre lot and current duplex configuration provide excellent opportunities for expansion, including the potential to add an ADU or additional units for increased density.
Situated in a desirable neighborhood with high walkability to Coddingtown Shopping Center and local restaurants, the property offers significant long-term value and convenience.
The residence has significant foundation failure, having sunk into non-engineered soil, which will require a costly lift and a completely new foundation system.
The home requires a total overhaul of all major systems, interiors, and exteriors; combined with a probate sale status and no existing reports, it presents high risk and capital requirements.
Oversized lot. Lot is splitable. This house appears to have sunk into the mud; there is very little crawlspace. I think it needs to be lifted onto a new foundation or the plumbing needs to run above grade. Everything else needs to be fixed, also. Bathrooms, kitchens (yes, there are two), floors, roof, plumbing, fences, landscaping-everything needs a bit of work, or more. The good news? It is an oversized lot, about 1/4 acre. It's a nice neighborhood. You might be able to add on to this lot with either another house, an ADU or additional unit. It has city water, sewer, gas, electricity, a fireplace, a huge front yard and a very large backyard, the roof does not leak, at this moment, the neighbors seem great, in town location with shopping all around. Gas stove, gas water heater, wall heaters, free standing fireplace, covered deck in the back yard and a loft with stairs for an extra place to sleep. You can walk to restaurants and/or the Coddingtown Shopping center. It's currently configured as a duplex, but easy to convert back to a SFD. There are no reports, going through probate.
