Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Excellent
TeardownExcellent

Property is new construction or fully renovated.

Although originally built in 1932, the property has undergone an extensive recent renovation that meets modern luxury standards. The interior features new light wood flooring throughout, a completely remodeled chef's kitchen with a center island and high-quality appliances, and updated ensuite bathrooms for all bedrooms. The addition of a converted garage with a kitchenette and bathroom, along with EV charging capabilities, indicates that the property's systems and finishes have been fully modernized within the last 5 years, leaving no deferred maintenance.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Prime Walkable Location

    Situated in the highly coveted Grove area, the property offers exceptional walkability to premier destinations including the Original Farmers Market, Whole Foods, and Pan Pacific Park.

  • Versatile Detached Bonus Space

    The converted garage features a built-in kitchenette and bathroom, providing a highly functional space for a guest house, professional home office, or creative studio.

  • Modernized Period Character

    This 1932 Spanish-style residence seamlessly blends original architectural charm, such as high ceilings and arched windows, with contemporary updates like a renovated chef's kitchen and ensuite bedrooms.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.

  • Loss of Covered Parking

    The conversion of the garage into a living space eliminates traditional covered parking, which may be a concern for buyers with multiple vehicles despite the available driveway charging.

  • Limited Outdoor Acreage

    With a lot size of under 6,000 square feet and a detached structure, the remaining backyard space is relatively compact, potentially limiting options for those seeking a large lawn or pool.
