More Insights

Built in 1900 (126 years old).
Condition: The main house features a modern, open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, contemporary cabinetry, and recessed lighting. The bathrooms are also extensively updated with modern floating vanities, stylish tiling, and glass shower enclosures. Hardwood floors are present throughout the main living areas. While the property was built in 1900, the main residence appears to have undergone significant, high-quality renovations within the last 5-15 years, making it move-in ready. However, the detached ADU's kitchenette and bathroom are notably dated with older appliances and finishes, and the property analysis notes potential for older underlying systems due to the original build year, preventing an 'Excellent' rating for the entire property.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential System Updates: Built in 1900, the property may have original or older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require significant future investment for modernization or maintenance, despite cosmetic updates.
Ongoing Landscaping Maintenance: The extensive and beautifully terraced hillside landscaping, while attractive, suggests a considerable ongoing commitment in terms of time, effort, and cost for maintenance, which may not appeal to all buyers.
Relatively Modest Square Footage: With 1556 square feet for a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home at its price point, some buyers may find the overall living space, particularly in the main house, to be on the smaller side.
