Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, this home is well-maintained but dated. While it features a new HVAC system and clean original hardwood floors, the kitchen is explicitly described as 'retro' with older tile countertops and cabinetry. The property is move-in ready but requires cosmetic updates to the kitchen and likely the bathroom to address its 20+ year old styling.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8276, living area = 1006.
- Spacious Corner Lot
The property sits on a generous 8,276 sqft corner lot featuring fruit trees and potential for RV parking, offering significant outdoor utility and expansion possibilities.
- Modern HVAC System
A newly installed HVAC system provides essential climate control for Sacramento's warm summers, offering immediate value and reducing near-term maintenance costs.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Bathroom Count
With only one bathroom serving the entire household, the layout may be restrictive for families or guests, potentially impacting the home's competitive appeal.
- Dated Interior Elements
The 'retro' kitchen and the need for 'personal touches' suggest that cosmetic updates and modernizations are required to bring the home up to contemporary standards.
