Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1940, the home features a recent cosmetic refresh with new interior/exterior paint and refinished hardwood floors. However, the kitchen is highly dated with vintage tile countertops and older cabinetry, and the home relies on a dated wall heater rather than a modern HVAC system. While move-in ready, it requires significant updates to systems and wet areas to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Turnkey Condition
The home features a freshly painted interior and exterior, offering immediate move-in readiness and enhanced curb appeal for prospective buyers.
- Outdoor Living Space
A covered patio and a generous 6,000 sqft lot provide excellent opportunities for outdoor relaxation, entertaining, and potential gardening or expansion.
- Market Accessibility
Priced at $300,000, this property represents a highly accessible entry point for first-time homebuyers or investors looking for a manageable rental asset in Merced.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Square Footage
At only 950 square feet with a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration, the interior space may be too restrictive for growing families or those needing a dedicated home office.
- Vintage Infrastructure
Built in 1940, the property may possess aging electrical, plumbing, or insulation systems that could require future capital improvements compared to newer builds.
