Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but its features are dated and reflect an older renovation style. While the home has functional tile flooring throughout, the kitchen contains a dated drop-ceiling with fluorescent panels and older cabinetry. The presence of popcorn ceilings and vintage bathroom fixtures, combined with the 1929 build date, suggests the home has been maintained through regular upkeep rather than a recent comprehensive renovation.
Situated on a generous 2,810 sqft lot, this property offers significant room for future expansion or ADU potential, providing a rare opportunity to add value in a single-family residence.
The inclusion of secure gated parking and a detached one-car garage provides added value and security that is typically unavailable in entry-level homes at this price point.
The property features a lush, private backyard with a rose garden, mature fruit trees, and a covered deck, offering a superior outdoor experience compared to similarly priced condos.
With only 540 square feet of living space and a single bedroom, the home's small footprint may be restrictive for many buyers and limits the functional layout for families.
Built in 1929, the property's age suggests that buyers should anticipate potential maintenance or modernization needs typical of century-old structures.
