Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Excellent
TeardownExcellent

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.
