More Insights
Built in 1979 (46 years old).
Condition: Built in 1979, this property has undergone significant updates that elevate its condition beyond 'Fair'. The main kitchen is a standout, featuring modern white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and a contemporary mosaic backsplash, indicating a recent renovation likely within the last 5-10 years. The description highlights 'high-end designer finishes throughout' and the images support a well-maintained interior with hardwood flooring and updated aesthetics in living areas. While a substantial foundation upgrade was completed in 2005 (19 years ago), and some elements like the ADU's kitchen area are more basic, the overall property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The absence of visible central AC (a split unit is seen in one bedroom) and some standard light fixtures prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' score, but the extensive updates and meticulous maintenance firmly place it in the 'Good' category.

Cons
Significant Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple substantial price drops from its original list price of $2.4M to $1.595M, which may indicate market resistance or initial overpricing.
Potential for Outdated Systems: Built in 1979, despite being well-maintained and having a foundation upgrade, the property description does not specify updates to major systems like HVAC (e.g., air conditioning), plumbing, or electrical, which could lead to future expenses.
Limited Traditional Yard Space: While offering multiple outdoor spaces and a balcony, the 5,318 sqft lot size for a 2,850 sqft home may result in less traditional yard space, which some buyers might desire for family activities or pets.
