More Insights
Built in 1948 (78 years old).
Condition: While the property was built in 1948, the main house features a recently remodeled kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, Carrara marble countertops, and modern white cabinetry. The two main bathrooms are also remodeled with contemporary fixtures, tiling, and vanities. The separate ADU includes an updated kitchen and bathroom. The overall aesthetic is modern and move-in ready, with hardwood floors in main living areas. However, the age of the primary structure suggests that some underlying systems may not be as new as the visible renovations, and the presence of a window AC unit and wall heater in the ADU indicates that not all HVAC systems are fully integrated or brand new, preventing an 'Excellent' rating.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =20028, other record lot size in square feet = 20473.
Compact Interior Square Footage: The listed 1456 sqft for a property with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (across two units) is relatively small, potentially leading to a cramped feel or limited primary living space, especially given the large lot size and price point.
Age of Primary Structure: Built in 1948, the main house is an older property. While some areas are remodeled, there may be underlying aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly detailed.
Limited Privacy for Second Unit: The second unit is located 'above garage,' which might offer less privacy or independent access compared to a fully detached ADU, potentially impacting its appeal for some tenants or family members seeking greater separation.
