Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1938 with original kitchen cabinetry and tilework that is well over 50 years old. The kitchen is missing a stove and requires a full remodel, and the listing explicitly targets developers or 'sweat-equity' buyers, indicating that the primary systems and interior finishes need a complete rehab.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
- Significant Expansion Potential
The 1,107 sq. ft. lower level features 8+ foot ceilings and a bonus room, offering a massive opportunity to add square footage, additional bedrooms, or an ADU to increase property value.
- Abundant Natural Light
Large south-facing windows and multiple skylights in the kitchen and formal dining room ensure the main living spaces are bright and inviting throughout the day.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1313, other record living area = 1230.
- Significant Renovation Needed
The property is in mostly original condition and requires a full update of the kitchen, bathroom, and systems, which will require substantial immediate capital investment.
- Limited Bathroom Count
A three-bedroom home with only one bathroom is a significant drawback for modern families and may limit the buyer pool until a second bathroom is added.

The bathroom features a shower, built-in storage and an east facing window. In the rear are three bedrooms, each with a full size closet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 benefit from windows on two sides. The lower level has incredible development potential with 1,107 SqFt. and 8+ foot ceilings. Currently equipped for two car parking plus a workshop, laundry area and hobby space.
