Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

This 1913 historical estate is well-maintained and retains significant architectural character, but the listing explicitly states it 'needs updating.' While the home features classic elements like hardwood floors, crown moldings, and built-in cabinetry, the kitchen and bathrooms appear to be from a previous era and lack modern appliances and contemporary fixtures. It is move-in ready but shows signs of being outdated, fitting the criteria for a property maintained through regular upkeep without recent major renovations.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 20869, living area = 4711.

  • Historical Prestige

    Located on the iconic 'Millionaire's Row,' this 1913 Mission Revival/Craftsman estate offers rare architectural integrity and significant historical character in a highly sought-after neighborhood.

  • Versatile Guest House

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Modernization Required

  • High Maintenance Overhead
