Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1953 with no evidence of recent major renovations. The kitchen/laundry area features dated cabinetry and mismatched appliances likely over 30 years old. Exterior images show visible stucco damage, peeling, and cracked concrete, indicating significant deferred maintenance and the need for a comprehensive rehab.
Situated in a highly sought-after neighborhood, this home offers exceptional proximity to local dining, shopping, parks, and major commuter routes, ensuring a convenient urban lifestyle.
The interior is designed to maximize natural light, creating a bright, inviting, and warm atmosphere throughout the functional living spaces.
The property features a private yard perfect for weekend gatherings or quiet evenings, providing valuable outdoor living space that is rare at this price point.
At just 998 square feet with only one bathroom, the home's compact footprint may be restrictive for growing families or those requiring a second bath.
The 3,466 square foot lot is relatively modest for a single-family residence, which limits the potential for significant building expansions or large-scale landscaping projects.
