Despite being built in 1925, this property has undergone a comprehensive and recent renovation, as indicated by the 'fully refreshed' description and the visual evidence. Both the main unit and the permitted ADU feature brand-new, modern kitchens with white or light gray shaker cabinets, contemporary countertops (granite-look in main, quartz-like in ADU), stylish tile backsplashes, and new stainless steel appliances (ranges, hoods). The bathrooms are equally impressive, showcasing new vanities, modern fixtures, updated tiling (mosaic in main, large-format in ADU), and contemporary lighting (including a backlit mirror in the ADU). Throughout the property, new LVP flooring, fresh paint, and modern light fixtures (recessed lighting, ceiling fan) contribute to a virtually new feel. The exterior is also freshly painted, and landscaping appears new. This property meets current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance, making it move-in ready with high-quality finishes.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Permitted Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU): The property includes a fully permitted ADU, offering significant value through rental income potential or flexible multi-generational living, a highly sought-after feature.
Recent Renovation & Modern Finishes: Described as 'fully refreshed' with 'gorgeous finishes' in both units, indicating a move-in ready condition and reduced immediate renovation costs for a buyer.
Income-Generating Potential: The ADU explicitly provides an opportunity for rental income, enhancing the property's financial appeal and affordability for an owner-occupant.
Versatile Living Arrangement: The ADU allows for flexible use, accommodating extended family, guests, or a home office, catering to diverse buyer needs.
Recent Price Adjustment: The reduction from an original list price of $795,000 to $749,500 indicates a motivated seller and potentially a more attractive entry point for buyers.
Cons
Overpriced Relative to Market Estimation: The current list price of $749,500 is significantly higher (approx. 13%) than the estimated property value of $689,821.65, which could deter data-driven buyers.
Compact Living Space: With 1008 sqft for 4 beds and 2 baths (including the ADU), the overall living area is relatively small, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
Small Lot Size: The 3500 sqft lot offers limited outdoor space, which might be a drawback for buyers desiring a larger yard or more privacy.
