Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1950 and held by the original family, the property is in mostly original condition and requires a full rehab. The kitchen features peeling vinyl flooring and dated cabinetry, the bathroom is significantly outdated, and the interior shows visible signs of deferred maintenance including ceiling damage. The listing explicitly markets the home as a 'blank canvas' for investors or those looking to redesign.
Elementary School: Kester Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Situated on a nearly 6,000 sqft lot with a small 799 sqft footprint, this property offers a 'blank canvas' opportunity for investors or owners to significantly increase value through expansion or the addition of an ADU.
The home is exceptionally well-located for families, sitting within walking distance of multiple schools—including Anatola Avenue Elementary just 0.16 miles away—and close to major commuter routes and shopping.
At under 800 square feet with only two bedrooms and one bathroom, the current interior size may be too restrictive for many modern buyers without immediate and costly expansion.
Marketed as a 'blank canvas' after 70+ years of single-family ownership, the property likely requires a substantial budget to modernize 1950s-era systems, fixtures, and finishes to meet today's standards.
