Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While originally built in 1951, the property has undergone extensive high-ticket renovations within the last 1-2 years (2023-2025). Key updates include a new roof, a modern 3-zone mini-split HVAC system, foundation repairs, and updated interiors/bathrooms, meeting the criteria for a mint-condition renovation under 5 years old.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8500, living area = 1102.
The property features over $50,000 in high-ticket upgrades, including a new roof (2025), a high-efficiency 3-zone mini-split HVAC system (2024), and structural foundation strapping, offering the buyer significant peace of mind and reduced immediate maintenance costs.
The oversized 8,500+ sq. ft. flat lot features a unique widening geometry and side access, making it an ideal candidate for the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to maximize density and property value.
With only one bathroom serving three bedrooms, the home's configuration may be a drawback for growing families and could impact the property's competitive positioning against multi-bath homes.
At 1,102 square feet for a three-bedroom residence, the interior living spaces and bedrooms are relatively small by modern standards, which may feel restrictive for some buyers.
