Condition Analysis

Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1970 but features significant recent updates including a brand-new roof (2026) and a modern mini-split HVAC system for cooling. The interior is move-in ready with updated flooring, recessed lighting, and a refreshed kitchen. While the kitchen appliances (coil stove) and counters are functional rather than high-end modern, the overall maintenance and the addition of a modern 130 sq ft studio justify a 'Good' rating.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Versatile Bonus Studio
The property includes a 130 sqft modern backyard studio, providing valuable additional space for a home office, gym, or creative retreat that is not counted in the primary square footage.
- Highly Walkable Location
Boasting a Walk Score of 84, this home is ideally situated within half a mile of the vibrant shops, acclaimed restaurants, and transit options of both Hillman City and Columbia City.
- Key Infrastructure Upgrades
The inclusion of a brand-new roof (2026) and installed air conditioning offers immediate peace of mind and modern comfort, reducing the need for near-term capital expenditures.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Compact Living Footprint
With only 720 square feet of primary living space and a single bathroom, the home's interior may feel restrictive for growing families or those requiring more indoor utility.
- Market Stagnation
Having spent 44 days on the market with a recent price reduction from $555,000, the property may be facing challenges with buyer perception or initial overvaluation.
