More Insights

Built in 1952 (74 years old).
Condition: The property offers a unique combination: a brand new, modern ADU with stylish finishes, which is in excellent condition. However, the main home, built in 1952, features a significantly outdated kitchen and bathroom, appearing to be original or from a very old renovation. These key areas require substantial updates to meet current quality and aesthetic standards. While the main home benefits from a new AC installation and appears otherwise maintained with newer carpet in some areas, the dated kitchen and bathroom prevent an overall 'Good' rating. The property's condition is a blend, with the ADU being excellent and the main home's wet areas being poor, averaging out to a 'Fair' overall condition.

Generous Lot Size: The 7,254 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space, allowing for private backyards and separation between the two residences.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =7254, other record lot size in square feet = 7405.
Main Home Age: The primary residence was built in 1952, suggesting potential for older systems or components that may require future maintenance or updates beyond the new AC.
Limited Combined Living Space: The listed 1200 sqft for two homes (totaling 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) indicates potentially compact living areas for both units, which might feel constrained for larger families.
Variable School Performance: While some nearby schools have good ratings, the closest elementary school (Casa Loma) has a lower rating (2/10), which could be a consideration for families with young children.
