More Insights
Built in 1949 (77 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, this property is over 70 years old. While the exterior appears well-maintained with modern solar panels and a seemingly newer roof, there are no interior images to assess the condition of the kitchen and single bathroom. Given the age, it's highly probable that these critical areas, along with other interior features, retain older styles and may require significant updates to meet current standards and buyer expectations, despite the general 'well taken care of' description. The limited bathroom count (1 for 3 bedrooms) is also a functional limitation common in older homes.

Pros & Cons
Pros
ADU Potential & R2 Zoning: The property is zoned R2 with a huge backyard, explicitly offering a significant opportunity to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), enhancing its income potential or multi-generational living options.
Prime Location: Conveniently situated near a college, schools, and a shopping center, providing easy access to essential amenities and services, which is attractive to various buyer demographics.
Investment Opportunity: Explicitly marketed as a 'great opportunity for an investment,' supported by its R2 zoning and ADU potential, suggesting strong future value appreciation or rental income.
Large Lot Size: With a lot size of 6207 sqft, the property offers ample outdoor space, supporting the ADU potential and providing room for outdoor activities or landscaping.
Gated Front Yard: A gated front yard enhances security and provides a safe, enclosed space for children or pets, adding to the property's family appeal.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =6207, other record lot size in square feet = 6097.
Sub-type Inconsistency: The property is listed as a 'Condominium' (sub_type) which directly contradicts the description of having a 'huge backyard to build an ADU' and being 'zoned R2,' typically associated with single-family homes. This requires immediate clarification as it impacts financing, ownership structure, and development potential.
Limited Bathroom Count: The home features only 1 bathroom for 3 bedrooms, which can be a significant functional limitation and inconvenience for families or multiple occupants, potentially impacting resale value.
Age of Property: Built in 1949, the property is over 70 years old, which may imply aging infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, roof) and could necessitate future maintenance or renovation costs not explicitly mentioned as 'well taken care of'.
