TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1954, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready. It features modern interior paint, hardwood flooring, and a newer expansive deck with wire railing.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools

- Permitted Junior ADU
The inclusion of a permitted lower-level junior ADU provides exceptional versatility for rental income, multi-generational living, or a private professional home office.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
- Compact Living Space
With 1,425 square feet distributed across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the individual room scales may feel constrained for buyers seeking larger communal areas.
- Vintage Infrastructure
Built in 1954, the property may require capital improvements or modernization of its original systems to meet the efficiency expectations of contemporary buyers.
