Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1970, the home is well-maintained and move-in ready but remains largely dated. While it boasts newer systems (furnace, water heater, copper pipes) and fresh cosmetic updates like paint and windows, the kitchen features 'vintage' cabinetry and tile counters that are over 20 years old, requiring modernization to meet current standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Move-In Ready Condition
The home features significant recent improvements including fresh interior paint, new baseboards, a newer furnace, and dual-pane windows, ensuring a turnkey experience for buyers.
- ADU & Expansion Potential
A detached garage offers excellent potential for an ADU conversion, complemented by a long gated driveway that provides ample off-street parking.
- Functional & Spacious Layout
With 1,724 sqft of living space, the home offers a large family room for gatherings and a primary suite with dual closets, providing more interior volume than many standard 3-bedroom homes in the area.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Market Stagnation
The property has been on the market for over 60 days and has undergone multiple price reductions, which may signal a misalignment with current buyer expectations or market value.
- Dated Interior Finishes
While well-maintained, the 'vintage' cabinetry and extensive tile countertops in the kitchen may require further investment for buyers seeking a contemporary aesthetic.
