Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1947, the property features recent updates (likely within the last 2 years based on sales history) including new vinyl windows and fresh exterior paint. The home appears move-in ready and functional for an investment property, though the aged roof-mounted cooling unit and unimproved dirt lot prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' rating.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- 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 = 7701, living area = 636.
- Development Potential
The property features R-2 zoning on a generous 7,701 sqft lot, providing significant opportunity for multi-unit development or the addition of an ADU to maximize rental income.
- Turnkey Investment
With recent updates already completed, this home offers a more immediate move-in or rental-ready status, reducing the need for initial renovation capital for investors.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =7701, other record lot size in square feet = 7840.
- Limited Living Area
At only 636 square feet for a three-bedroom configuration, the interior layout is exceptionally compact, which may limit functional furniture placement and overall comfort.
