More Insights

Built in 1946 (80 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1946, has undergone significant recent renovations, including remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, new wide plank vinyl flooring throughout, newer electrical panel, and newer water heaters. Both the main house and the ADU are presented as move-in ready with functional and updated components. The main house kitchen features white cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, while the main bathroom has modern tiling and vanity. The ADU's kitchen and bathroom are also functional and clean, though with a slightly less contemporary aesthetic than the main house. While the core structure is older and lacks central air conditioning, the extensive updates to major systems and finishes bring the property to a 'good' condition, requiring no immediate renovations.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1681, other record living area = 350.
No Central Air Conditioning: The property relies on ceiling fans for cooling, lacking a central air conditioning system which may be a significant drawback during warmer months.
Older Core Structure: Built in 1946, the main house, and the ADU (built 40+ years ago) have an older core structure, which could imply potential for age-related maintenance or infrastructure considerations beyond recent updates.
Limited Bathroom Count: The main house has only one full bathroom, and the ADU has one bathroom with a shower, which may be insufficient for larger families or frequent guests.
