SUMMARY

Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property is in exceptional condition, having undergone an extensive remodel in 2019 with significant high-value updates in 2025, including new bathroom plumbing, fresh interior paint, a new refrigerator, and a new porch roof. The kitchen is modern with stainless steel appliances and butcher block countertops, and the home features updated flooring and a new water heater (2021). Despite its 1920 build date, the recent 2025 remediation and maintenance ensure all components are virtually new with no deferred maintenance.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Extensive Recent Upgrades
The property is move-in ready with a 2019 kitchen remodel, 2025 interior/exterior paint, new plumbing in the bathroom, a new water heater, and a new refrigerator as of 2025.
- Enhanced Privacy and Security
The home features a newer premium teak wood fence equipped with an automatic gate, providing a secure and private environment for the front and back yards.
- Development Potential
With a 2,792 sq. ft. lot and the garage already removed, the property offers significant potential for the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to increase value or rental income.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Square Footage
At only 608 square feet, the living space is very compact, which may limit the buyer pool to individuals or couples and lacks flexibility for a home office.
- Lack of Garage
The original garage has been removed to accommodate a back porch, leaving the property without covered parking or traditional enclosed storage space.
- Fire Remediation History
The home required professional ozone treatment and insulation replacement following the Eaton Fire in 2025, which may be a point of concern for sensitive buyers regarding air quality or future insurance.
