Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

The property, built in 1972, is well-maintained and features recent functional upgrades like dual-pane windows, upgraded central air/heating, and fresh paint. The kitchen has newer appliances and recessed LED lighting, and the bathroom is clean. However, the kitchen cabinets and tiled countertops, along with the bathroom vanity and tiled countertop, are stylistically outdated, suggesting an older renovation (likely 15-30 years ago) rather than a recent, comprehensive modern update. While move-in ready, these areas show signs of being outdated and would benefit from cosmetic updates.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Excellent School District

    Located within the highly-rated ABC Unified School District, a significant draw for families seeking quality education.

  • Recent Upgrades & Move-in Ready

    The home boasts recent upgrades including fresh interior paint, dual-pane windows, modern doors, and upgraded central air and heating, ensuring a move-in ready experience.

  • Desirable & Convenient Location

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Limited Bedrooms and Bathrooms

    With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property may not accommodate larger families or those requiring more private space.

  • Compact Square Footage

    At 904 square feet, the living space is relatively small, which could be a limiting factor for some buyers.

  • High Association Fee

    The monthly association fee of $483 is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of homeownership.
