Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1932, retains significant original character and has a newer HVAC system. However, the kitchen features dated mint-green cabinets, older appliances (mixed black and stainless), and basic tile countertops/backsplash, suggesting a renovation from 15-30 years ago. The bathrooms are also notably dated, with one featuring a black toilet and older vanity, and the other a traditional but not modern vanity. While functional and well-maintained, these key areas show clear signs of being outdated and would require substantial updates for a contemporary aesthetic, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13938, living area = 1656.
Situated on a rare R-3 zoned double lot totaling nearly 14,000 square feet, this property offers significant investment potential for building a duplex, ADUs, or a second single-family home.
A timeless 1932 Victorian gem, the home boasts lovingly preserved rich architectural details, coved ceilings, period moldings, and original character.
As a 1932 Victorian home, despite preserved character, the property may require ongoing maintenance and potential updates to older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as upgraded.
The significant development potential (duplex, ADUs) is contingent on 'buyer to verify with city,' which implies potential complexities, costs, and time for due diligence and municipal approvals.
While architectural character is preserved, the description does not highlight modern updates to key interior areas like the kitchen or bathrooms, which may be a consideration for buyers seeking contemporary finishes.
