Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1947, this home is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen has received cosmetic updates like newer flooring and a subway tile backsplash, but retains older cabinetry. The bathroom features original 1940s-style pink tile paired with a newer vanity. The presence of a wall heater suggests older HVAC systems, and the overall infrastructure appears to be over 20 years old despite the charming aesthetic.
The property features a detached workshop and an additional shed, offering versatile options for a home office, artist studio, or potential ADU development on the large lot.
A generous 6,250 sqft lot provides a private patio and lush yard space, which is a significant asset for gardening, outdoor dining, and multi-generational living possibilities.
Situated on a quiet block in the desirable Upper Laurel area, the home offers excellent proximity to the Laurel District's shops, restaurants, and the scenic trails near Mills College.
With only one bathroom serving two bedrooms, the layout may be a drawback for families or buyers looking for more modern convenience and privacy.
The current list price is significantly lower than the 2020 sale price of $725,000, suggesting the home may require updates or repairs to reach its full market potential.
