Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Excellent
TeardownExcellent

Property is new construction or fully renovated.

This 1950s home has undergone an extensive, high-end renovation within the last 5 years, effectively bringing it to new-construction standards. The property features a gourmet kitchen with a 6-burner Wolf range and custom cabinetry, engineered oak flooring, vaulted beam ceilings, and a comprehensive smart home system. The bathrooms are fully updated with luxury features like a steam room shower, and the exterior is a newly completed entertainment oasis with a pool, spa, and outdoor kitchen.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Outdoor Entertainment Oasis

    The backyard is a premier private retreat featuring a pool, built-in spa, covered patio with fireplace, and a full outdoor kitchen equipped with a BBQ and kegerator.

  • Separate Guest House

    A detached studio guest house with a full kitchen, bathroom, and private entry provides excellent versatility for rental income, a home office, or multi-generational living.

  • Gourmet Chef's Kitchen

    The high-end kitchen features a 6-burner Wolf industrial oven, natural wood cabinetry, and a sophisticated 124-bottle temperature-controlled glass wine cabinet.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Limited Interior Square Footage

    With only 1,673 square feet across both the main house and guest studio, the interior living spaces may feel compact relative to the premium price point.

  • Vintage 1950s Infrastructure

    Despite the extensive high-end remodeling, the property's 1950 build date may present underlying infrastructure limitations common in older homes.

  • Recent Price Volatility

    A significant price reduction from the original list price of $3.16M to $2.7M may indicate initial overvaluation or shifting market demand for the area.
