Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the property boasts a newer roof and a permitted foundation from 2015, the 1919 structure shows significant signs of age. Interior photos reveal dated finishes, older electrical outlets, and a cracked window pane. The lack of mention or imagery regarding a modern kitchen or bathroom remodel suggests these core areas are likely over 20 years old, requiring updates to meet modern standards.
Elementary School: Lowell Elementary School (9/10).
The 690-square-foot detached structure already includes a bedroom and bathroom, offering a significant head start for conversion into a full ADU for rental income or multi-generational living.
With an automated alley gate and parking for up to six vehicles on a generous 7,074-square-foot lot, this property offers an exceptionally rare level of convenience and space for the Bluff Heights area.
