More Insights

Built in 1928 (98 years old).
Condition: The property benefits from significant recent system upgrades including a new roof, insulation, fresh paint, new A/C, and solar panels, which are excellent. The original hardwood floors are well-maintained. However, the main house kitchen features very dated tiled countertops, backsplash, and flooring, and the main bathrooms, while clean and functional, also exhibit outdated styles (e.g., pedestal sink, specific tile patterns, green marble). These key areas appear to have been renovated 15-30 years ago, requiring minor aesthetic updates to meet current quality standards and styles, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1823, other record living area = 1262. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age-Related Maintenance Considerations: As a 1928-built home, despite recent upgrades, potential buyers may anticipate ongoing maintenance or future updates to original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond A/C) not explicitly mentioned as fully replaced.
Unspecified Parking Capacity: The listing does not explicitly detail the dedicated parking arrangements for two residences (main house + ADU), which could be a concern in a dense urban area, potentially leading to reliance on street parking.
Recent Price Appreciation: The current list price of $1.445M represents a notable increase from its last recorded sale price of $1.375M in June 2024, which may require clear justification of value-add upgrades to prospective buyers.
