Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1963, the home has received some cosmetic 'lipstick' updates including new laminate flooring, fresh interior paint, and stainless steel appliances. However, the kitchen retains dated cabinetry, and the bathroom vanity shows significant physical depreciation with peeling wood and older fixtures. While functional and move-in ready for some, the property requires minor updates to address aged components and deferred maintenance on original fixtures.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Spacious Multi-Generational Layout

    With five well-sized bedrooms and 2,270 square feet of living space, this home offers rare flexibility for large families, guest accommodations, or dedicated home offices.

  • Energy Efficiency

    The property includes solar panels, providing a significant long-term value-add by reducing monthly utility costs and enhancing the home's sustainability.

  • Architectural Character

    The secondary living space features high-end aesthetic details including wood-beamed ceilings, rich paneling, and a brick fireplace, creating a warm and sophisticated atmosphere.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • High Bedroom-to-Bathroom Ratio

    The configuration of five bedrooms served by only two bathrooms may create a bottleneck for larger households and could impact daily convenience.

  • Local School Ratings

    The assigned middle and high schools currently hold lower performance ratings (3 and 4), which may be a concern for families prioritizing top-tier public education.

  • Limited Outdoor Utility

    Given the large 2,270 sqft interior footprint on a 5,733 sqft lot, the remaining backyard space is relatively modest for a home designed to accommodate a large number of residents.
