Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1929, has received recent cosmetic updates in the kitchen and bathroom, including newer cabinets, countertops, and fixtures, which are in good condition. However, the kitchen is missing major appliances, and the flooring throughout is basic tile. The listing description explicitly states the home needs 'a little TLC' and is an 'opportunity for first-time buyers to make it their own,' indicating that while key areas are functional, other components likely show signs of age and may require minor updates or repairs. Major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) are not specified as recently updated, and given the age, they are likely functional but outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of an aged home maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Versatile Bonus Room: The property includes a bonus room, offering flexible space for an office, nursery, or playroom, enhancing its functionality and appeal to various buyer needs.
Charming Original Character: The home retains its original character and features a bright living area with abundant natural light, contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Desirable Backyard Space: A well-suited backyard provides an excellent area for outdoor activities such as BBQs, family gatherings, or children's playtime, adding significant lifestyle value.
Convenient & Amenity-Rich Location: Strategically located near schools (elementary, middle, high), City Hall, parks, shopping, and restaurants, offering exceptional convenience and access to essential services.
First-Time Buyer Opportunity: Positioned as a great opportunity for first-time buyers to personalize, coupled with a 'MOTIVATED SELLER,' suggesting potential for a favorable acquisition.
Cons
Requires Updates/TLC: The listing indicates the home 'can truly shine' with 'a little TLC,' implying that buyers should anticipate additional investment for renovations or upgrades.
Older Property Age: Built in 1929, the property is nearly a century old, which may lead to concerns about the condition of major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and potential for higher maintenance costs.
Limited Bedrooms and Bathrooms: With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property's size and layout may not accommodate larger families or those desiring more living space and amenities.
