Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

This 1968 mid-century home is a well-maintained 'time capsule' being offered for the first time. While the property appears structurally sound and functional, it retains its original vintage finishes, including 1960s-era kitchen appliances, wood-paneled walls, and original tile bathrooms. It meets the 'fair' criteria as an aged property maintained through regular upkeep that shows significant signs of being outdated and requires cosmetic modernization to meet current market standards.

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 = 21315, living area = 2651.

  • Expansive Living & Income Potential

    With over 4,000 sqft of total usable space including a converted 1-bedroom basement unit and a 604 sqft enclosed patio, this property offers rare versatility for multi-generational living or rental income.

  • Premium Lot & Outdoor Oasis

    The massive 21,315 sqft hillside lot features panoramic city and treetop views, a built-in pizza oven, and an extraordinary private orchard with over a dozen varieties of mature fruit trees.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Significant Updating Required

    Retaining its original 1968 finishes and vintage tile, the property likely requires a substantial capital investment to modernize the interior and systems to meet current luxury standards.

  • Extended Market Time

    With 136 days on the market and multiple price reductions, the property's history suggests that the original condition and hillside location may have presented challenges in attracting immediate buyer interest.
