More Insights
Built in 1930 (95 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1930, has undergone renovations, but the main kitchen features dated honey oak cabinets and black appliances, suggesting a renovation 15-25 years ago. While the home is well-maintained and includes a more recently updated bonus space, the primary kitchen and some bathroom elements (like the pedestal sink and vanity light in one bathroom) are significantly outdated and would require cosmetic updates to meet current buyer expectations. The mixed flooring (older hardwood, carpet, newer-look tile) and varied light fixtures also indicate a property that has been updated over time but not extensively or recently throughout, fitting the 'aged but maintained' and 'requires minor updates' criteria for a 'Fair' score.

Pros & Cons

Versatile Bonus Space & Amenities: Includes a significant bonus/flex space with its own entrance, 3/4 bath, screening room with surround sound, and a wet bar with built-in ice maker and wine/beverage fridges, adding substantial functionality and entertainment value.
Outdoor Entertainment & Lifestyle: Features a 'massive patio/BBQ area', a terraced backyard for gardening, and a large, private balcony off the primary suite, ideal for outdoor living and entertaining.
Development Potential & Ample Parking: Offers 'tons of potential' with a 2-car garage 'begging to be converted' and additional side-by-side carport parking for 3 cars, providing future value and convenience.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1930, the property's age may imply potential for higher maintenance costs or the need for updates to older systems and infrastructure.
Limited Flat Yard Space: Described as having a 'terraced backyard' and being 'perched high off the street', which often translates to less usable flat yard space, potentially limiting certain outdoor activities despite the patio.
Main House Square Footage: At 1608 sqft for the main house, some buyers might perceive this as modest for a property described as an 'entertainer's dream compound', even with the added bonus space.
